at one point the way our group of friends would “show off” how buff we were was by going to the school soccer field, jumping on the soccer goal post, hanging upside down using your legs from the goal post bar, and then doing abs crunches.

So during our lunch break we went to the field, I felt like I could do it, I jumped on the goal post and tried to hang upside down. The problem is that the goal post was not screwed on the ground and when I jumped on the goal post it started to swing a little, creating a pendulum effect. I was midway trying to adjust my pose into upside down when that entire 10 feet long post flipped down and hit my left ankle real hard against the ground with the post’s weight on it.

From what I recall, it didn’t hurt too much. It cracked my ankle bones a bit, I went around school with the lower leg cast for about 3 weeks. We had a theater class final presentation (acting out a theater piece) before my cast was off, so I did my role standing in crutches. There was one scene where another actor would yell at me “shut up, drunk! go home!” and was supposed to throw me a bucket of water. The force of the water threw me off balance and I fell from my crutches which caused a commotion on the group of 100 people who were watching the theater play hehe
