I fell on an icy road 2 winters ago and cut my leg badly. I also sprained my wrist. It was very sore but the people I was with all laughed.
Maybe we could do a story on that.
But I bet neither my accident nor that woman’s would have happened had we been wearing hi viz jackets. Let that be a warning to you!
What sort of morons are out there..Every week someone has to be airlifted from a rock or a mountain.. because of total stupidity and lack of common sense. They should get billed by the aircore for the call out.
I didnt realise slipping or falling was down to intelligence. I always trip going up the stairs so this news is most worrying.
Terry, if you go trough life without ever slipping or falling over, you deserve an award as the first person in the history of the world to ever do so.
have your say
