Oddbean new post about login | logout New risk I hadn’t previously considered: Walking down one’s own front stairs to check the mail as one has done thousands of times, distractedly missing the bottom step, and doing a parkour roll across the driveway. I’m now absent a substantial portion of the skin I had half an hour ago. Do not recommend.
@edbba727 Oooof, my dad did something similar one winter: slipped on some ice on the brick steps and did a full Charlie Brown onto his back. He still picked up the newspaper, though! Went to the hospital shortly afterwards when my brother told him he looked like shit (and he admitted he passed out while picking up the damned newspaper). Honestly, the Charlie Brown probably saved him from falling on his neck.
Ow, ow, ow. My hands feel like what I expect a bare-fist boxer’s would feel like the next day.
