I've had a pneumothorax when I broke a couple of ribs when I fell off a Pizza Box shelf in a Pizza shop. I was laying on it on my back painting and the ferking thing fell off the wall with me on it and a right angle shelf bracket got me in the chest as I fell with it onto the floor. I had an extra ambulance called out as they needed another crew to help lift me up on the stretcher over the counter

blimey carl you nearly topped youself !!

With cheese It wombles hurt because they where galvanised steel shelf brackets still attached to the stainless steel shelf which turned over and done me in the chest as I fell with it and landed on a bracket. That was years ago when I was younger, decorating a pizza take away. The shelf was only designed to take the weight of pizza box's

So you fell off going into 2nd gear !! K owing how you ride ,it could off only been 10mph at best .
It must be true that saying that you don't bounce as well as you get older and a slight slip can put a hip out !.
Get well soon mac and hope the local nurse has a new sponge for you !.the things people do to get a sponge bath these days :-).
