Those driveway falls can be absolute killers. A friend of mine died a few years ago when she slipped on her driveway, hit her head, and never woke up. Watch yourself, folks.
Based on how inappropriately many of those "slippers" were dressed, I'd say that they were not used to having winter ice storms or freezing weather where they live.
A pair of wellingtons with strap on ice grippers, or at least, a pair of golf shoes with cleats from the second-hand store. Everybody on this website is getting too old for a fall off the proch.
This is not funny on any level. It's not clumsiness or un-cordination where ice is involved. It hurts like hell. There are people in the hospital with broken limbs, cracked skulls and worse.
A coworker slipped in his driveway and just grazed the trailer hitch with his head, requiring a lot of stitches. He figures an inch over and he would have fractured his skull and died. I have owned my icers for years. https://www.icers.ca Al_in_Ottawa
After living all my life up in the northeast and dealing with this shite for 3-4 months of the year, every year, I finally picked up and moved to south Texas. Winter? Yeah, we got winter here. It was on a Tuesday in early February, IIRC. Between 2 and 4 am.
6 years ago, I fell on the ice in the alley behind my house after throwing out the trash and dislocated my right shoulder. The ball of my shoulder was laying on my sternum/ breastbone. I don't even like going back in the summer now. Jeffersonian

ReplyDeleteThe first rule of ice storms is, stay indoors.
ReplyDeleteNo way, no how will I live in that environment again.

Including me. I slipped off the porch last week and landed with my back against the steps. I'm still feeling it.

ReplyDeleteNo shit?
DeleteNo, it's not clumsiness, it's fucking stupidity! These are grown people, and they don't know about ice yet?!? Sorry, stupid is always funny.
DeleteDo it again, I didn't feel a thing.
DeleteAnd that, boys and girls, is why my crippled ass stays indoors in freezing weather.
ReplyDeleteJust got through spending a whole week inside the house after getting a layer of ice covered with powdery snow.

ReplyDeleteThat's the only nice thing about living in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteNo Snow or ice (on Oahu).
