A number of years ago. We had an ice storm Christmas night. In the morning, I called my mother and told her, "Don't go out & try to get the ice off the porch. You'll slip & break something. I'll come over & do that."
And I did. I slipped, flew off the deck, hit the steps so hard I broke them loose & landed on some landscaping railroad ties that form the border for a flower bed. Broke 3 bones in my right hand.
The only long term effect is that I still can't snap my fingers on that hand.
