    I fell up the stairs

    While running

    up wooden stairs

    with a bowl of canned cat food in my hand

    took the brunt right below the left kneecap

    That was about 6 weeks ago, and I'm still recovering.

    Others:
    Dropping the phone (constantly, but I have a good phone case so no breakage).
    Nearly chopping the tip of my finger off (2 years ago) with a very sharp knife. That resulted in a trip to the emergency room. The good news is my fingernail regrew and attached to the nail bed and you can hardly tell what happened.
    Tripping on flat surfaces

    I hate when dropping something food related and the more you try to save it, the worst it ends up.

    I first came upon this little lesson about 25yrs ago. With a plate of hot cheese nachos and a bowl of hotsauce in the other hand I took a seat in the recliner. Something went terribly wrong and the hotsauce left my hand. By time the batting around of both the bowl and plate trying to save the sauce, the wall next to the recliner had a fresh pecante’ paint job and the carpet was rather spicy. My wife just laughed at me.

    That particular combination required more caution than I was able to find at the moment.
