I wish you hadn't mentioned that one. Tomorrow I am going over to a disabled friend's house to finish putting on a roof. By the way, her disability involves a vestibular disorder, as in she is always dizzy and has no balance.
I don't fall nearly as much as my college-age son. Most of his falls involve breaking bicycle parts and going down as a result. Last week he snapped the bottom bracket spindle. I didn't even know those could be broken. He's only twenty and he has sheared off three cranks and four pedals to go with the spindle. His grandparents call him Godzilla. My LBS calls him Money.
