The art of falling over

I never knew there was actually a skill to falling over, but according to my bro there is...

Andy: I fell over the hoover earlier today mum

Mum: really

Andy: yea but its ok cos I know how to fall

Me: what do you mean?!

Andy: well I know how you're meant to fall so you don't hurt yourself like you fall over sideways

Mum: but what if it happens by surprise?

Andy: well..... blah blah blah blah blah (going into detail about the technique falling for about 5 whole minutes)

What a nutter!

    LoL - he does have a point. When I used to do Judo, we used to warm up by doing 'break falls' - just practicing falling over and how to land properly from different directions. It becomes a reflex after a while - so you'll do it even if you're taken by surprise. Of course, it hurts less on mats
