   Protection wasn’t the issue, bro. This was a forward fall onto the hands. Wrist protectors might have saved some wrist pain but would have still caused this break, probably. Elbow pads, likewise, would not have helped, I don’t think, since I didn’t land on my elbow in the classical sense.

   Perhaps a padded cell would have been sufficient protection, but short of that…

   Regardless of what kind of fall it was, you’re still old. Well, older than me.

   Reference my other post to see how grateful I am to be old.

   Old is not an insult to a CHD guy.

   Yep. I’m old. But I still LOOK 25, and you, well, might get tagged as 30.

   Abraham Piper’s son Orison illustrates my fall very accurately in this video.. Well, I didn’t scream, but anyway.
