When it gets below 30 degrees, I have a tendency to wear Uggs–that is, unless it is snowing. But I didn’t know that my warm fuzzy boots would cause so much pain.

I have yet to actually fall on the ground–I’m talking "face first, lose control of all your limbs, hurt something in your body" kind of fall. (Now I’m probably going to jinx myself, as I write this). But I find it interesting that the times I have been close to falling, I have been wearing Uggs. Not to be dramatic, but I think that taller people have a longer way to go when falling, and it actually scares me. Aside from the social embarrassment that comes from falling, I do not want to be covered in gross black ice, but even worse than that would be ending up in some random person’s Snapchat.

I have seen a couple of falls and they are quite hilarious, and although I try not to laugh out loud, I definitely find it entertaining. I already like to watch videos of people falling, so the real thing is just that much better. Be careful out there Northern people, this winter is a rough one! Here are some do’s and don’ts when falling:

The “Frozone from Incredibles” fall:

If you have not seen the video of a girl that is falling looking like Frozone, you have got to get to it!

The "I can't even control my body" fall:

At this point, it's too late. All you can do is laugh it off, and if no one saw you, get up and act like nothing happened. DO NOT try to run, because you will most likely fall again.

The "There is no way I'm falling" fall:

YOU: 1

GROUND: 0

But the ground gets a point because by not falling, you made an idiot of yourself.

The “I should go to the Hospital” fall:

AVOID THIS AT ALL COST! But if it happens, you better hope you're carrying Life Alert.

The “I might as well look good when I fall” fall:

If you're falling, and you didn't even see it coming, raise your hand a little higher than your other arm, and strike a face! Maybe early 2000s Tara Banks.
