That's just reminded me of another one.
A few sets of bollards all connected by chains at the Uni student union, except between one set. Guess who missed the open gap and fell over the connecting chain while running fast, falling flat on their face. F*ck that hurt. My shins were begging for mercy at the time.

Random!
You must be something of an expert by now!”
Give me a staircase and I'll fall down it. So far, I've been living up to expectations.
The alley in Ponty I thought was flat, rather than stepped (it was pitch dark). I found that out when I reached the bottom with severe grazes and bruising.

I sprained both my ankles at the time.
It's just as well I usually bounce when falling down stairs, as I'd have broken various bones by now.

There is a general theme here isn't there.
I've fallen out of a second floor window, luckily onto soft earth. To this day, I can't remember how it happened.
I've fallen 20 feet out of a tree. Luckily the branches broke my fall.
I've landed into a dense bramble thicket, after a trip and then falling.
I've jumped onto a plank of wood covered with seaweed, but it had a nail sticking out upwards. So, nice puncture wound there in one foot.
I fell down a cliff (about 20 feet).
All the above incidents (below = ) happened in Devon.
