It is virtually impossible to join however using platforms.................not impossible as I'm sure some sad klutz can make a claim that his shoes became lodged in the platforms..................just very difficult.
Club Tombay memberships are available for all who cannot manage to get loose from the drivetrain. Those with routine falls need not apply.
Then I'm a member, too! Yay!
I fell when I was sneaking into the local state park at dawn. When I was leaving, the Park Truck was at the gate, I was nervous that they were going to ask me if I was camping there. I was right by the driver's side of the truck, when he said something. I had been trying to go slowly, an innocent pace, but when he spoke to me I got totally preoccupied with trying to figure out what he just said, which I didn't quite hear. I stopped, couldn't get my foot out of the clip (didn't even try* until I was halfway down) and the park rangers just watched me float to the ground.
If they had been questioning why I was in the park, it was replaced with "Are you all right???"
