Today, I'm in Mexico and am supposed to be skydiving for my Christmas gift. Instead, I'm coming out of the hospital with x-rays, an ankle splint, and a $800 bill because I fell on the bottom step of a flight of stairs. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my family and I were just about to leave the house for the vacation that I had been saving up for 3 years. I was coming down the stairs with a heavy suitcase and I tripped and fell breaking my leg, now my family's gone without me while I'm in hospital. I paid for the vacation. FML
Today, after working two jobs and saving constantly this year all for a month-long solo vacation traveling to 7 countries, I arrived in first one. Within three hours I fell and broke my foot, forcing me to come home in fear of needing surgery. FML
Today, I decided to take my girlfriend out to look at Christmas lights and get hot chocolate. While cleaning my snow-covered truck, I slipped and broke three bones in my ankle, and now need surgery. FML
Today, I seized at the bottom of the stairs and broke a rib. I don't have enough money to pay the bill. I don't know what to do. FML
Today, it's been a few days since I moved into a new apartment and was excited to finally have a balcony. I went out to enjoy the view, but as I leaned against the railing, it gave way and I fell two stories onto the pavement below. I ended up with a broken leg and a huge medical bill. FML
Today, I went to the emergency room for a broken collarbone. This wouldn’t be so bad if my parents hadn’t paid $20,000 for me to go to a snowboarding academy all winter. Today was day one. FML
Today, I fell on a crack in the pavement and broke my ankle. Next week, I'm supposed to fly interstate to be on a quiz show I've spent two years in the audition process for. FML
Today, I went to an indoor trampoline park. This would usually be fun, except that I got there, broke my ankle, and left in an ambulance, all before my friends even arrived. FML
Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML
Today, I woke up in hospital. Apparently, I fell down the stairs, broke 3 ribs, one toe, and hit my head so much that 12 stitches were needed. I also blacked out for an hour before my husband found me covered in blood. Recovery should take about a month and a half. FML

Obviously Nike things are there because their bullshit policy on waste, they can just dump all garbage in the river next to the factory and no one will care

Well you can always lie and say you had a skydiving accident, that would be machoistic without being sexist or mysogynistic...

Due I feel your pain but I'd have gone skidiving anyways. I rolled my ankle at the begining on december, getting off my bed, its still swollen and still hurts when I move it in certain postions. I still went snowboarding on boxing day even though my ankle was still swollen and still hurt sometimes (its the ankle I lead with, the chairlift rides were kinda painful, lol). But then again I didn't bother with a doctors visit, I merely made the educated guess that I have a sprained ankle. FYL hope you get to go skidiving eventually.

Consider yourself lucky! Never ever go skydiving (or bungee jumping) in Mexico! They just don't have the safety regulations like in civilized parts of the world!

That is a sign- do NOT go skydiving.

Ok first of all mexican extreme sports/activities have the same safety regulations as anywhere in the world, all of you who find it "sketchy" seem to lack any sense of common sense and culture. It is also true that Mexico has free health insurance, 800 dollars for an ankle splint seems far fetched.

Probably a good thing OP, if you can't handle stairs, how do you think you're going to be able to handle skydiving?
