Back in pilot training I learned how to do a parachute landing fall. Fortunately, I never had to use it for its intended purpose, but it has saved me from injury on a number of falls. Once I was taking out the trash fell and slid all the way down the driveway on my back and didn’t spill a thing.

Schools should teach parachute landing falls in gym classes. It would save a lot of misery and medical bills. Along with swimming (at least knowing how to tread water), I consider it a basic survival skill.

When I lived in Alaska I quickly learned, after a couple of nasty falls that “came out of nowhere”, the Alaska duck walk—feet about shoulder-width apart, knees bent to a near-squat position. Never fell again.

Swizzles are exercises done by beginning ice skaters.

I thought that was a Republican trying to twist his statements about how its okay to punch a woman in the face if the guy does a good enough job for a racist.

But imho, a hockey player is ten times what a figure skater is.

I’m done with the Olympics already. Oh Jim McKay, where are you?
