I didn't sit on it and slide, it was more of a stomach affair. I think what actually caused the problem was the knobbles at the end, I just forgot about them.
The older you are the less fun things get. Besides the physical aspect, and the senior moments when you forget the word for a fork; The older you get the less aceptable people deem certain activites are for you. Getting older blows.
Ok, I have no problem with all the good things about getting older. If I could get older without any signs of physical ageing or any less function of the brain, bladder, colon etc.. So basically I want to live and do stuff and learn things and forget things and always have the good health and energy to do said things. So all of this without any peeing in pants.
And there is no reason that things should be less fun just because you are older. Ok so you might not be able to do them all due to stiff bones, but that does not mean they are any less fun.
Also, I forget the word for fork now, am I already a senior? :-)
The activites themselves are still fun, getting frowned at is less fun. i.e. the 'isnt that a bit childish' vibe you get from work collegues, etc some times. You know the ones who expect you to have 2.4 kids, a pipe and tweed jacket once you hit thirty.
Not going to stop me carrying on as I please, but still. On a related noted have you ever seen disco granny in town? shes my hero.
It's the simple pleasures that make life worth living, don't ever give them up. Even when you hit 70, I would hope (plastic hip allowing) that you'd still find the same pleasure in sliding down banisters.

That's the problem with getting old mon ami, lifes simple pleasures become more and more difficult.
Hope you recover from your injury soon and that it has not disuaded you from further banister sliding.
