The whole city’s frozen over. I slipped hard off the first step off my stoop and went comically flying. Took a couple minutes lying on the frozen earth to recover. Tis the season.
I hope your neighbors don’t have surveillance footage 💀
Hope you are fine. Frozen ground is a menace. Be careful and stay safe.🙏
Should be gone tomorrow. Its the sudden weather changes that are the most dangerous. If I was expecting the whole world to be ice I wouldn’t have slipped and a lot of other accidents wouldn’t have happened.
I thought this post was going to be much darker than it turners out to be. Watch your footing comrades.
Me too, I’m glad it wasn’t and that comrade is okay lmao
the lucky thing about december making life seem unliveable is that december is also very keen to kill you so the problem just sort of solves itself. hope you didn’t hurt yourself too badly.
Bruised elbows and welt on my head is about all. That and a hurt ego for allowing such a dumb thing to happen. I love the winter for the most part, but yeah the weather can be very dangerous.

This happens a lot to me, like too many times that I can count
I know it is hard to do on practice but when you slip with your face looking upwards you should force your chin against your chest, so that your head doesn’t hit against the floor and you hurt your neck or skull. A good practice for this is let yourself go to the floor with something soft and practice doing this.
Someone’s been practicing their falls :D Good job, and good advice.
Edit: is this part of systema?
Yeah, lol, of course it is not infallible but it helps to know about it.
It definitely helps! I can’t recount how many injuries I’ve avoided over the years because I was taught how to fall when I was young.
I got some ice cleats you can strap to practically any shoe and show the ice who’s really in charge. I’m horribly unbalanced due to a joint disorder and the ice has been a bane of my existence forever. This is gonna sound like an ad read but these people are goddamn miracle workers.

Stg I can’t step outside right now without falling. Ice cleats on my crocs of all things? Kicking winter’s ass.
