When I was very small, my older siblings would slide down the supporting poles of the slide in our park (about 7 ft high), fireman style. I was two or three, and decided to try it. Unfortunately I didn’t grab on quick enough, and plummeted to earth. Fortunately, it WAS earth underneath, with long grass, not gravel! I got a concussion and a huge lump on my head. I still remember hearing the moms scream as I fell.
Nothing was broken, but decades later when I had a CAT scan we discovered the mark is still there on my forehead.
