I'm notorious for walking into walls and wiping out down stairs or just walking in a straight line. I never thought of it before now, but suddenly I'm slightly nervous I could kill myself in a UE situation.... or maim myself? Are there any other klutzes out there? any advice? Really funny stories? Here's a not so funny not ue related story: I just wiped out walking across the parking lot of shopper's drug mart and some nice soul picked up my slurpee for me... didn't help me up, but he rescued my drink... It's a tragedy. It's exactly like a greek tragedy. We should only be Greeks.

And my "stealthiness" is a joke; I just gave up on it, I walk right into wherever I'm going and ignore the normals You can't fall off a mountain. what  Location: Texas Gender: Male RE - Rural Exploration  |  Re: UE for a klutz <Reply # 2 on 6/19/2006 11:35 PM >   hey, gotta save the slurpee. where i work (video production & advertising) when we complete a set they always make sure its "[my name] proof" i don't break a lot of stuff, mostly just knock it over, make it fall down, spill stuff... good grief, why am i still employed? :p so whenever i'm out i always pay extra attention to where i'm going and where i'm stepping. so far no major accidents.

I've attempted to climb into windows only to have pipes break off the wall under my feet. My conclusion? Seek ground level points of entry, or at least use ladderlike structures.

I'm pretty good exploring though, due to needing to be very aware of my surroundings.

This happens to a lot of people, and my fiance is notorious for it. My advice is simple. Slow down and pay attention. This kind of thing normally happens when people hurry, or their mind is on two or three things at once, so do one thing at a time, ma'am. When moving in an abandonment, watch the area a few feet in front of your feet, walk forward, then stop and look around. Shoot your photos, or decide where you are going next, then watch your feet and walk again. I know it sounds very simplistic, but it works, and its important. You take a bad step in an abandonment, the next move could be the hospital or worse. I have changed my personal exploring ethics code. From now on it will be: "Take only aimed shots, leave only hobo corpses." Copper scrappers, meth heads and homeless beware. The Jonsered cometh among you, bringing fear and dread. tag_cryptic  Location: colorado springs Gender: Male  |  Re: UE for a klutz <Reply # 16 on 6/21/2006 6:17 PM >   i'm with Jonsered on this one. i thought this was silly at first, but when i thought about it... the few times i've explored with others, they were way too jittery and made me jittery. once i was distracted by talking with a buddy that i failed to warn him about a set of stairs i knew were in decay. of course his foot went thru and gave us a scare, but nothing more. distraction is just another reason why i think exploring solo is safer.

Its kinda like when your walkin around and foot goes flyin to the left or right without you doin anything and you look down and see a giant dog turd. Yea its kinda like that..... Trying to win hearts and minds, but willing to splatter them if neccesary. blackhawk  This member has been banned. See the banlist for more information.
