Marchog Aug 2022 3:35pm, 9 Aug 2022 146 posts	0 Marchog I've got falling over! Slipped on loose gravel, stubbed my toe and over I went. Ended up upside down with my legs in the air clutching the bracken to stop me rolling down the hill. That's why it's called fell running.

RossN Sep 2022 5:17am, 8 Sep 2022 4 posts	0 RossN Two falls in 8100 km. One a couple of years ago - landed on my chin on the concrete. Continued jogging home (only about 2 km) with blood dripping out of my beard into a cupped hand. Second fall was last week. Coming down a slope with a bit of pace about 15.5 km into a 16 km run. Tripped on the concrete (maybe a non-flat join in the path) and went sprawling. Grazed my elbow through a long-sleeved polyprop thermal (it was about 3ºC). That lost me 10 seconds or so. Continued fine.

57.5 Degrees of Pain Oct 2022 9:28pm, 3 Oct 2022 9,911 posts	0 57.5 Degrees of Pain Took a spectacular slide on a downhill muddy section of Mount Stuart parkrun. But there was so little friction that damage was pretty much limited to a small scrape on the elbow and a bruised bum cheek.
