Picture the world. zoom Picture a country. zoom Picture a mountain. zoom Picture a ski run. zoom And picture a person, falling. ME.

 Falling. The one thing I hate about skiing. It sucks. Some people say "You never learn unless you fall." Allow me to laugh. Or cough. Falling sometimes leaves you laughing, and it sometimes leaves you in the emergency room. I prefer the former.

The Small Fall:

Oops! I slipped. Down I fall, up I get. And back down the hill.

Pain Rating: *

The Tumble:

You slip and fall, and roll a bit.

Pain Rating: **

The Yard Sale:

You slip. You do a summer-sault. One of your skiis pops off. You roll some more. Off goes your other ski. Then your pole. After more rolls, you lose your other pole. You are now lying spread-eagled at the bottom, with your stuff all over the hill. You must then walk all the way back up to collect it.
