... I found my first problem on my PJ's today, running down hill. I decided to go for a wander erlier today, round the golfcouse that I walked round in the dark on my 3rd stilt walking lesson. Put on my PJ's, run down to the beach fine, up the hill to the golf course fine. Got to a long flat behind the course, so was running along fine, and before I noticed I was going downhill at a faifry decent speed.
At this point i'll mention that I think the springs on my PJ's may be too soft for me, any step I take is real squishy, unlike the PJ's I learnt to use. So, running downhill, I decide to try to stop, and all i seem to do is go faster, or scuff one foot then run a bit more to stop myself tripping. So having problems slowing, and heading rapidly downhill towards a wall, I could either hit the wall with my arms out to slow the crash, crash/trip before the wall, or grab an object I pass and hope for the best.
In my mind, grabbing an object seemed the least potentially painfull, so I grabbed a lamp post, well more launched at a lamp post, swung round it, and landed next to it on the floor, laughing like an idiot. Much to some old dear's surprise. I'm gonna hit the hill when I get my new springs, but not at speed, and in the mean time I will practise hills a bit more.
