That makes me feel better since I have a few years on him. The irony is I have a collection of YakTraks and micro-spikes that I use when hiking. I was walking two blocks to the grocery store on mostly dry pavement. There was a frozen puddle at the end of the company driveway that I navigated around but missed an icy patch on the other side. I went down fast and hard. Another pedestrian had seen me fall and asked if I was okay. I said yes as I scrambled back up. Then I realized that wasn't going to work. They called 911 since my phone was safely on my desk.
