A friend of mine's brother came home from curling one evening...he come in the front door (split level entry-way...6 to the basement, 6 to the upper floor), set his stone down, slipped, snapped his ankle, fell down the 6 and snapped his neck...
His wife found his stone by the front door, still ajar, and found him at the bottom of the stairs, stiff. Autopsy showed that the neck snapping killed him instantly...they don't believe he even realized he was falling... BAC? 0.16. Neighbor's husband fell 7 feet off a ladder...snapped his neck...just coming off the roof from cleaning leaves out of a gutter...missed one step, slipped through the opening, spun backward and landed REALLY WRONG... Gone. Sad... Hat...watch yourself...I don't think anyone wants to hear about you...after the fact...

I fell down the stairs to my bedroom 9 weeks ago. Not a spectacular fall but broke my foot and a vertebrae. Still wearing a corset brace for my back, not very comfortable.
Stairs can be dangerous! Rob

If you make a nasty fall, always go to a good hospital and have them x-ray your back.
After I fell I called my house doctor, he thought I had just some bruised ribs. Because of my foot I went to the first aid, they made x-rays of my ribs and tried to fix my foot. This proved to be to difficult and I was admitted for surgery. The surgeon that put some metalwork in my foot was the first who looked properly at my back (started poking it, rather painful). He ordered new x-rays and found a broken vertebrae. Later he explained that broken vertebrae are usually unnoticed until it is to late. Vertebrae can brake under compression, you don’t have to fall on your back. The result is chronic back pain and unpleasant operations. Rob

Hattie,
You were very lucky! I know someone who is a quadraplegic by slipping and falling on his patio deck. He was in his 20's and his life is in a nursing home, very tragic. It wasn't your time, but be careful. I'll pray that you are safe.
