Well @
canklecat and @
rachel120 call me superhuman. I got taken out at hockey tonight, guess where I contacted? About three inches down my right arm below the shoulder. Never once stuck out my arm to catch myself, with my arms tucked in. Gonna be a bit tender for a day or two as it always is, but no concerning damage.
@
OldTryGuy, so you relaxed your body and didn't reach your wrist out to break you fall, you just landed on your hip and side instead of an outstretched arm and were fine? I'm not really going to argue the minute differences between that and what I suggested, its more or less the exact same concept: don't stick your arm out.
But hey, as I mentioned before, fall as you wish, I merely suggested what every sport expert I have ever heard from has told me.
PS I scored the goal too, so taking the hit was totally worth it
