A couple of years back, I went out after the newspaper (they don’t deliver now). It was on the other side of the iced over, sloped driveway. Almost there, I felt my foot lose traction. Just like a cartoon, I was completely horzontal, three feet off the ground.
Luckily, my fifty-year-old combat training kicked in (along with the padded clothing), and I landed properly. No bumps on the ka-noggin, no hip damage. The only damage was a bruised elbow, where it didn’t bend enough (old workplace injury) to absorb the impact properly.

Hopefully she’ll land on her head.

I did that once while roller skating, managed to stay on my feet, and got applause afterward.

Not from Broomie’s perspective.

1500 year-old bones must be severely osteoporotic.

It’s all fun and games until someone breaks a hip or fractures a skull.
