My broken arm a couple of years ago was pretty prosaic....rolled on my ankle on a rough edge of footpath and down I went. Didn't put my arms out to break the fall, but nonetheless ended up spraining my right wrist and breaking both radius and ulna at the wrist end in my left arm. Bummer was.....we were on holiday in Canada at the time.....it was a holiday souvenir I didn't want!

When people asked how it happened, once I had recovered my sense of humour, I would say "you know sometimes things fall down,and they break? well......"
