I had a drum that was stored on a huge wardrobe and was pretty unstable. One day, as i opened the wardrobe, the drum fell on my head. I laugh about it today because fortunately, the wound was not as severe as i though at first.

    I fell down concrete steps and rolled into it and came back on my feet relatively unscathed.

    I wasn’t paying attention walking along the sidewalk and tripped over a step. I tried to pull my other foot forward to catch myself, and that foot got hung up on the step too.

    I ended up doing a forward roll and landed on my feet.

    I had been taking karate classes with my kids, but I didn’t know I actually learned anything.

    A while later I saw they had put large concrete planters next to the step, so I don’t think I was the only one to trip.

      yeah I had taken judo as a ked so I went into a forward rolling fall. Its one of my things I tell someone asking for an opinion on a martial art to take. Im like you may never get into a fight and most people I assume don’t want to. But we all fall and thats pretty usefull.

        Yeah, that concrete step is the only time I’ve ever been attacked in the street, and I survived!
