Last winter. Was carrying a box of video tapes from the car to my gf's home. Stepped off the snow covered grass and onto the snow covered sheet of ice that was covering the sidewalk. My foot slipped as soon as I put my weight on it and I fell hip first, elbow second onto the ice. After a couple of seconds of lying motionless assessing the damage, and after about 5 minutes of laughter, I got up with gf's help and continued toward my destination. The hip hurt for about a week afterward.
