I was running down the C-Train ramp at the University Station a few months back and somehow gravity and a bum shoe conspired to make me trip at brisk pace and I was about to face plant in the worst way possible (think face against concrete like sandpaper on wood).
But I pulled out the kung-fu skills and did a roll with my backpack on. I landed on my backpack and rolled and bounced like 4 times with the pack cushioning me and I didn't have a scratch.
Looked around nervously but I don't think anybody saw me because it would have been the most ridiculous thing to have seen. A guy running at full speed with a full backpack log rolling down the C-Train ramp...
