my family, semi-daredevils

Okay, first thing I have to say is when I found this out my Brother was standing in front of me safe and sound. We were all at my Cousin's wedding (which was really nice and pretty and lovely btw) and I find out something crazy. Which happens more than I like ( Read more... )

Holy crap! So now your brothers are turning into your dad. That's kind of cool in a way. I've always admired how adventurous your family is.

Oh, how should you fall?

When skiing or skating or sports in general, when falling you shouldn't put your arm out and try to stop yourself from falling. If you do you'll break your arm. You want to spread the force across your body. Don't tense up. This also goes for a car accident, don't brace or tense up - that can cause broken bones and muscle damage. It's hard to remember to do, but once when I was learning to ski my Dad just kept making me fall over and over and over. Because I kind of rolled down the hill! And I guess I did it wrong so he made me learn.

When we had our really bad car accident when I was 9, with the deer, I remember thinking RELAX! Someone told me that drunks walk away from accidents because they are so relaxed. My Dad did make me duck, so that helped too, and of course seat belts!
