You trip up in public...

[JokerGrin]

Many interesting posts, pretty funny. I knew I could count on you guys to not tear apart my first thread. I love The Escapist! I'll be in duh cluuub in about ten minutes and I'll toast all of you! In my head at least.

I'd milk the fall and then laugh at myself afterwards, making everyone think "Damn, that guy is an idiot, but he pulls it off so well..."

Also i'd generally just like to see how people react xD

Like that time i sat at the side of a busy road, staring at a bus load of people...

Just to see if it made them noticeably uncomfortable.

Style it out ... eg : sweep the knee down to bear the impact and pretend to pick something up.

If its an out and out faceplant, make it entertaining for the general public - Shout HIYOO! as you fall!

Knowing me, I'd get up, assure everyone I'm okay and walk off chuckling while unknown to me blood runs down my leg.

If I trip, I roll... I never fall down and not be back on my feet..


Seriously, I fall because my shoes are too big when I run... I roll as soon as I hit the ground..

Well i would at least try and take someone out in the process

I always hurt myself worse when ahah in an attempt to save myself

If I trip I just fall all the way to the ground and do five push ups, and when people ask me why I yell at them "BECAUSE I FELT LIKE DOING IT"

... I thought I was the only one

IF I trip, I just land on my hands and forearms.

Karate lessons ftw.

I used to fall to the ground on purpose to demonstrate how I can protect my body from damage. Girls at school thought I was cheating or something.

I'd threaten everyone who saw it with a slow and painful death if they laugh. I trip up a lot.

I just laugh at myself and move on, what else is there to do? During my first day of university I tripped and fell down almost two flights of stairs in front of about 20 students. I just smiled stupidly and had a great laugh since I knew that something like that was bound to happen to a klutz like me.

I would turn it into a sexy dance, maybe a little striptease.

 

[Omnipotent_Mortal]

I'd just laugh it off and carry on.

While crying inside and feeling my self-esteem drop even lower.

 

[fix-the-spade]

carry on chuckling gently.

IF I trip, I just land on my hands and forearms.

Nice. I thought to myself as I was reading this thread "Hmm. That would be a good opportunity to practice my break falls learned from MMA.

Either that, or I'd just use the momentum from the trip to do a barrel roll as I hit the ground

 

[The_Prophet]

If I trip (seriously, like max the reaper, I never trip), I'm pretty sure I'd say F*cking (thing I tripped on), get up and continiue my life

 

[This-is-Hip-Hop]

Make a Joke about it if someone speaks up, or just get up, brush myself off, and keep on truckin to my destination.

 

[new_age_reject]

Once I was running along some grass after a random car (no Idea why) and my foot went into a hole and I went straight down on my shoulder and just lay there. The car stopped and the driver and passenger swapped seats lol.

 

[MelziGurl]

I'd most likely laugh at myself. If I can almost face plant bitumen concreate while playing netball or be sent flying onto my arse by some bulky dude after running into him in during touch footy and still get up laughing tears, then I'm sure that I can do the same for tripping in a public place.

 

[Helmet]

I lie on my back/face for a second and think "...really?"

Then I make sure that someone I know was around to see it, because if I'm going to do something stupid/ painful, I at least want one of my friends to be able to get a laugh out of it.
