My question is if I am about to fall and I realize there's nothing I can do about it, which is a very weird feeling, can I position my body in a way to minimize the impact? Anyone here thought about this? I am actually quite skinny so I don't get cushiony falls
Tuck and roll......Go with the fall.......Don't extend your arm.......Loudly exclaim, OH CRAP!!!!
