Well well well. This is my area of expertise. You know those awesome, super fun inflatable obstacle courses? Well during Finals week, my college has “Study Break” events. They had one of the big Ballrooms set up with inflatables. So the night before my Biology final, around midnight – 1am, I and a group of friends decide to go check it out. We mess around on the different ones, and then me and a friend decide to compete in the massive and intricate the picture i linked to does not to justice, i swear! obstacle course. It was a tie the first time. So we go again, I was climbing the rope to one of the hills, and had to jump down to the other side and go up the next hill right? Wrong. I don’t know what exactly happened, but my foot got twisted completely in one of the ladder ropes, and instead of falling off the hill, I flipped yes, you read that right, flipped mid air and ended up over the next hill and fell down. I am pretty sure I made some sort of horrific noise through this process since the whole room was staring at me. I walked back to the dorm using the support of my friends. The whole night leading up to the next day, I was in extreme pain. I had to have a cop car drive me to the health center on campus to see the doctor who couldn’t believe the story, get crutches and then go take my exam still in pain. Of course, throughout the process, my friends were trying hard not to burst into fits of laughter due to the whole incident.
Since that day, I have never lived this down. Who manages to injure themselves over a cushiony, bouncy substance? I do. Sigh.
