workout at the park - FAIL

I'm so impressed you were able to build a suitable shelter with a 3.5 inch pocket knife! LOL! :laugh:

Some years back I was walking my two large dogs in the park.
I was pretty out of shape at this time, and wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings.
Someone let their dog off leash and my dogs took off after it.
I was slammed chest first into a metal trash can bolted into the ground, got the wind knocked out of me and was dragged several feet. My over sized sweats got pulled down around my ankles. No underwear.
It wasn't a great day.

Oh man, I have some good ones.
Once, I was teaching a horseback riding lesson and attempting to demonstrate to my student why she shouldn't pinch with her knee and point her toes way out- point being that it's unnatural and immobilizing. While walking around like a disabled goose proving my point, I tripped and dislocated my knee. Heard a lovely rip and a pop and was not getting back up. A fellow instructor had to pop it back in place for me in front of 5 horrified 12 year olds. You better believe my point was made though. Same group of students, later the same summer, got stepped on by a horse(arm and chest) three times. Camera Flash+ Spooky horse+ lazy instructor= bad news bears. It's a miracle anyone let me teach their children.

I also fell 6 times on my first bike ride with clip in pedals. Like, every intersection, my brother would hear me curse and I'd be down before he could even turn around. At one intersection (in a mercifully bike friendly town) a guy screamed across the intersection "It's okay honey, we've all done it!"

Final addition: just last week I was cruising along doing sprints on our local bike trail when my mini pump managed to dislodge itself from it's very secure holding spot and wedge itself between my road bike's frame and the spokes of my back wheel, taking me from about 22 mph to 0 in 2 seconds flat. I somehow managed to not fall and rip open my face that time, but I scared the bejeezus out of an old woman walking her dog. Managed to get the mini pump loose and not break any spokes after only 15 minutes of frustrated cursing.

I used to work as a tour guide at a natural history museum and fossil site. One day, I was taking a group to the dig pits. Some cobblestones on the path from the museum to the fossil site had worked loose from the ground and were wobbly. I stopped and turned to face the group so I could warn them to be careful since some of the stones were wobbly. We were getting ready to head down a slope.

I turned to continue walking. My footing slipped, and I tumbled down the slope. Next thing I know, I'm laying face down at the bottom of the slope with the wind knocked out of me. I can hear voices asking me if I'm okay. I caught my breath, laughed, and said it was a demonstration trying to regain my composure. They told me I landed pretty hard. I had some scrapes and bruises, but continued the tour. I started feeling the soreness by the time that tour finished. I think the group was more worried than I was. Several of them kept asking me if I was sure I was fine. I reassured them that it was mostly my pride that was hurt by the fall.
