The subject is a bit misleading, I'm not talking about a car accident or anything like that. I'll let you in on my story...
On a past trip a few years ago, I had a dinner reservation at Boma in Animal Kingdom Lodge, so I made my way by bus over to the hotel, and of course, for anyone who has ever eaten at Boma, you know that the restaurant is downstairs from the lobby area.
So I get to the top of the stairs, and on the way down I figure I'd adjust the lens on my camera to take some pictures of the restaurant. Well, on the way down the dimly-lit staircase, I was looking down at my camera, and missed the last step and fell flat on my face. Down I went, the camera went flying (luckily I had the shoulder strap around my neck, but it took a crash on the floor), and all I remember is having people try to lift me up off the floor. I had no idea what happened. I ended up with a big gash on my knee and a scraped elbow. Both were bleeding somewhat but none of the cast members offered to help in any way (not that I was expecting it). But I have to commend those kind and caring people who were waiting for a table, and helping me get up off the floor and asking me if I was all right.
I felt like a complete doofus afterward, and didn't really want to draw attention to myself, but this could have been avoided if I had been watching where I was going!
Anyone else ever had such an event happen?
