Don’t Underestimate the Power of a Walk

I slip and fall on concrete about once a year, because my brain can never quite remember how "slippery" works after a nice dry summer.

It hurts and I'm stinging for the day, but most of the damage has been to my ego. I'd hardly say it "really, really sucks"

Not saying you're wrong, just wondering why our experiences would be so different. I did martial arts as a kid so I definitely know how to take a fall well, so perhaps it's just a skill?

Hmm... I'm usually a pretty graceful faller myself generally. Maybe it was just the last time I fell that really hurt. I was carrying a 24 pack of beer to a friends and tried to jump over a slick space and fell and slammed my hip into the ground pretty hard. Was sore for a couple weeks.

That was several several years ago, not sure I've slipped on the ice since then. Now I'm a graceful walker ;-).
