Have you ever fallen down on your butt?

I did this when I was younger. Problem was I was always in a hurry everywhere I went and boom one day I fell. I have had to slow down a lot in the past couple of months and that has helped with being clumsy.

Yeah, I did. Just like you, it was raining and I just got out from 7 eleven and I did not choose the stairs instead I chose the inclined plane and that happened right before the two guys who were not that gentlemanly to help me. A few feet away, one of them just asked with a poker face, "Are you okay?" Of course, there's nothing to say but "I'm good", although I was hurt.

honestly i cant remember a time other than one. once in front of blockbuster my father slipped and pulled me down with him. other than that i have always considered each fall to be karma for something i have done.

Well the only time i really remember falling down so badly that i hurt myself, was when i was a kid still, I was ice skating on the pond at the end of my street and i fell down while skating and hit my tailbone REALLY hard and figured i must have broken it! i dont think i could sit down proper for weeks! Oh that brings back painful memories lol. I hope your butts okay! It's raining and icy here too, i almost always have a stroller to hang on to while i'm walking though lol. good thing i did today cause i slipped a few times, that's what i get for living in canada and not owning a pair of boots huh ? Silly me.

I was ten years old, but I remember it like yesterday. My earliest memory was growing up in Salinas California. There was one single day that we had some snow, less than a foot thick on the ground. I don't think I was six yet. Then my mother married an Army sergeant, and off to Germany we went. Guess what Germany has that California doesn't? That's right, snow and ice, all over the country during the winter. I remember it usually came up to my hips as I plowed through the stuff. One such winter I went on the monkey bars, and from the near the top, I slipped. I landed square, and I felt a sensation, not pain, but it felt like something, a definite touch sensation, starting from my tail bone and extending up my spinal vertebrae up into the chest area. I was afraid to attempt to move. I stayed there for about a minute. I was in the boy scouts (Webelos, actually) and I slowly moved my toes, one foot at a time. It must have took me five minutes to slowly test myself to see nothing major happened to me. I saw a chiropractor for minor back problems a few years ago, and it included xrays. One of my lumbar vertebrae was visibly compacted, and he said that it must have been one hell of an accident to have that happen. I don't laugh at people falling anymore, I don't find it funny. What changed my perspective is that I broke the ball of my humerus two or three years ago running to catch a bus. Obviously my body cannot turn around, accelerate, and go up a curb at the same time. I fell hard on my shoulder (thank God, not my face - I managed to keep the head up a bit when I went down) As with all broken bone cases, I had the nastiest looking bruise for several weeks that I thought would never go away -- OK, if they laugh at themselves at the time, I can laugh then, but not until I know they are not seriously hurt.

Yes, I have fallen down on my butt while I was on a date. My date was from another town so I brought him to a nice place with a bar on the rooftop. As we were going home, the stairs was a bit slippery that I fell down with my butt literally bouncing on the rest of the steps. As I reached the last step, I immediately stood up and told my date if he can do the thing that I did just to break off the uncomfortable silence. After which, my date could not help himself but really laughed so hard that he had tears on his eyes. Oh, well.... that was one embarrassing moment that I could not forget. At least, I gave my date a good laugh. :)

Yes, I have. It was a couple of years ago though. I was walking down the sidewalk and slipped on some ice in front of the store. We had had a snow storm and I was out and about before they had a chance to take care of the ice. Anyway the first thing I did when I landed on my butt was look around to see if anyone had seen me. Boy did I feel silly. I got up and was sore so I knew that I would end up being bruised which I was but nothing else got hurt just my ego. But I have not had that happen since than, thank goodness.

ohh mann i HATE winter, for that reason. every time i go out side i complain about how i hate winter, and i need to move south lol yesterday makes my 2nd fall this winter.. our drive way is HORRIBLE. and my landlord is supposed to take care of it, but he doesnt. so its always a sheet of ice. i was walking to get to the car, and my feet just came out from under me.. it happened soo fast i didnt even know i feel till i was down LOL it hurt sooooo bad i fell on my hip/butt. and i have bad hips to begin with. i never got a bruise, but my chest hurt for a good 2 days because of the impact. last night we had parked on the edge of a snow bank, and i was trying to get to the car. i was stepping on ice along the car, and BOM fell right into the snowbank. i fell on my but, so it wasnt a big fall but because it was raining and snowing the other day the snow is covered in ice, so when i put my hands down to brace myself i ended up cutting my hand, and it hurts pretty badly

oh ive done it plenty of times. And with my luck I'm never alone, it ALWAYS has to be infront of a group of people. One of the worst times was at a volleyball tournament when i was in grade 11. The ball had gotten away from me and i ran after it. I accidentally over ran it and stepped on it and flewww across the room. Fell on my butt, twisted my ankle. And then i look up and i see a big group of like 10 guys staring at me and laughing at me. Possibly the worst whipe out ever.

Hello dear canadagal. I once had a bad fall in my bathroom when I was having a shower. I sat all the way down on the tile and got so badly hurt from the fall that I could still feel the pain after four days. Just a few more days ago, my son had a fall in the kitchen tile after I had wet-mopped the floor. He could not stand up immediately and I helped support him to stand up and he did not get well until three days later. So it is always better to pay more attention to the wet floor when we are stepping or walking on it.

I know I have on more than one occasion. And I usually end up laughing, because I've always found slapstick comedy to be hilarious, and I find myself being in real-life slapstick situations. One of my funniest moments (technically, it was falling on my back) came when my dad and I were putting up the outdoor lights before Christmas one year. I was up on the ladder, working my way along the roof line, when my dad said, "Hold on to the roof while I move the ladder over." I had one hand on the roof, which had a thin sheen of ice, and I turned my head to say, "What? Are you cra..." At that point he'd moved the ladder, my hand slipped, the hammer in the other hand flew up, and I fell flat on my back in the bushes. Fortunately, the hammer missed me by a few inches. I was on my back in the bushes laughing, and my dad leaned over me and said, "Didn't you hear me? I said to hold on."

We had a really bad ice storm here last Monday. I did not fall on Monday or Tuesday though. It was Wednesday morning when I was going out to start my car before work at 6:30am. It was still pretty dark out, but I knew it was really sick. I made it to my car okay. It was on the way back. I was almost to my parent's sidewalk when I slid. I landed on my knee first then slid down the little hill on my butt. I have a nasty bruise on my knee and a scrape. And no, I did not laugh.

Poor baby! So, hey, did you limp through the snow and get your shoe? Yikes, wet snow feet! I had a similar experience recently, ok, last summer, but I was going down our stairs (they're wooden deck stairs) and they were coated in that sort of mildewy, mossy, thin, green sort of stuff that grows on those types of steps after hot rains. Well, I was wearing crocs, and that wasn't the best kind of shoe to be wearing on those steps. My feet went flying out from under me and I whomped down on my butt, hard! I was so sore and bruised. After that, I got some tape especially made for that sort of thing, the kind that feels like course sandpaper, and put strips of it down on the outer edges of each step. It helps tremendously, and I haven't fallen on those steps again. But I've fallen so many times, on my butt, knees, face, it's ridiculous! Think I'm clumsy? Yeah, I'd say so. I think that my mind's always somewhere other than where it's supposed to be , and I don't pay enough attention to where I'm going. Or I don't pick my feet up enough, and catch my toe on an edge, and go flying forward. I hate that! I got my bike almost five years ago, and when I first got it, I took a few falls off of it, and that was no fun at all, either. Now, however, I'm a pro! (ha!) And it's the right size for me, so it's easy to get on and off of. Unlike the bike I had before, for a very brief time, which was way to big andheavy for me. It was a boys bike, and I had to get on and off it like a horse, you know, swinging my leg over the seat? Well, one fateful day, I did that, lost my balance, fell straight over, and broke my elbow. It was right after that that I got my current bike. It's a girls bike, a retro-style cruiser, and very easy to get on and off. I've also fallen off a curb and broken my ankle twice, but that's another story.......

Yes. I was a freshman in high school and fell on my butt coming down some stairs at school. I slid down a few steps on my butt and landed in front of a group of seniors. They mostly laughed but a couple asked if I was OK.

I was also putting out my garbage and slipped on the stair. Thank god it was 4 o'clock in the morning and nobody was around because I fell flat down on my face. I had only a nightgown on, I mean that only a nightgown on and my bare butt was sticking up in the air. I scraped myself but didn't get hurt very badly.

Ouch :)) rotflmao I do so hope you have someone that will kiss your poor behind and make it better? Good grief? I am the klutz Queen, which story would you like to hear? LMAO The newest one was last spring when my husband and I were (fooling around) in a hay loft. yes even at our age we still take advantage of opportunity when it presents itself! Any way I slipped and fell a distance and broke my tailbone. Of course Pops could not wait to let the boys know of mothers demise and they laughed for weeks the 4 of them.... Meanwhile I could not hardly sit at my desk (even with a donut to sit on) or sit to eat meals with them. My married boys still give me chit about it.

Indeed I have, who has not? the worst incident was 19 years ago and i still reap the consequences today. I was several months pregnant and it was winter - I lost my footing going down the cement stoop and landed myself on the edge of the bottom step before going to the ground. I ended up with a broken cocyx... this is something they can not cast, you know! yes, I imagine I was the BUTT of many a joke whilst carrying about my inflatable donut to sit on. it still gives me grief from time to time - when sitting for a while it will crunch..yowie.

Oh my gosh, yep I've been there, had moved from the south to the northeast, my first winter here! and ok, yep I had been drinking at a Christmas party, lol. We were leaving, and it was all going fine, the next thing he walked around the car to open my door for me, looked back and I wasn't there! I was sitting on the ground behind the car....fancy, thank goodness, long dress, laughing! He helped me up and the rest went fine. I slipped on ice behind the car. and all I could do was laugh. Was just a bit hung over the next morning. LOL Not one of my more graceful moments LOL

I've fallen on my lower back too. While in a hurry, I climbed a folded stepladder that was leaning against a wall. The ladder slipped, and I came down hard on a cement floor, on my lower back. I was in pain but was able to walk.I seemed to recover but my bowels had stopped working. After 3 days I saw a Dr. who checked me out and explained that my bowels had been torn from their anchors, and had nothing to push against, but would repair themselves in a few days. His advise was to go home and wait. I ate nothing but Grapefruit for 7 days. Finally, the long awaited movement occurred, and all was well again. Nothing about this mishap struck me as Funny!

I remember one Halloween in CO, I was probably 11 or 12. It was sleeting and there was ice on the ground. My friend went trick or treating with me that year. We were crossing the street and I slipped on some ice and landed right on my butt. It was embarrassing, and yes, my brother was laughing at me. It hurt but I tried not to let it show. I've fallen a couple times since than but I remember that one the most.
