I have slipped and fell on the ice. This is not fun and it hurts. One day I was out walking to school and it was so slick and there was alot of snow. I was in a hurry and was walking as fast as I could that day. I ended up walking too fast and falling and slipping on ice. I ended up hurting myself and felt sore for the entire day. I was walking with some friends. They just laughed and thought it was funny. I was so embarrassed. I did not think it was funny.

Yes, I have slipped and fell on the ice. It has happened a couple of times, to say the very least. I'm sure that this happens to a lot of people, myself included. I find that sometimes it happens at the most unexpected times.

Yes and broke my leg as a consequence, make sure you tread carefully and don't hurry, I never expected I'd break my leg at 27 years old, as I've always been careful.

tuckersheri oh yes why back when I was 22 I was running across the campus to my next class and fell , landed on my tail bone so hard it broke it.oh the pain, I ended up in the infirmary at the U. where the doctor x rayed me a nd told me I had broken my tail bone and would need to sit on a pillow for a few weeks. oh did that hurt and oh the embarrassment of carrying a small pillow given to me by the nurse around to various class rooms so I could sit down without yelling. glad when it healed.

I dont even try to walk on ice heck I can barely walk on flat dry non-icey ground without falling or bumping into something

yeah, the last time was a few years ago. i always try and walk slowly and carefully whenever it snows or it's icy because it's so painful and embarrassing when it happens. i especially hate it when people start laughing at you although i understand it looks funny but not to the person who's falling ]:

Yes, it happened. Many times at school when I was younger in fact. Because we had a lazy custodian who did not bother to put salt down on the sidewalks. The thing about ice is when its a certain temperature, its kind of hard to tell whether or not its water or ice. So I walked on this patch normally and then my feet slip out from underneath them. Thankfully no one laughed at me, because someone would be going down with me once I got my hands on them, if you catch my drift. So I hate ice, absolutely hate walking outside. Especially when there is nothing to grab on to help balance so I only had seconds to figure out how to land where it would hurt me the least and the options in that time were not good at all.
