This year, I have sustained several injuries some more serious than others.
I knackered my ankle up pretty good falling off my heels whilst dancing earlier in the year. Then I split my lip after a ball to the face on my return to netball training. I received significant bruising to the arms and thighs riding a giant cock and this week I am sporting gravel rash to the right side of my body (first proper netball match back after ankle injury). To top it all off, I fell spectacularly in a club this weekend which resulted in me sliding across the floor on my knees only stopping when my head hit the bar. My head is fine but now I have some rather questionable bruising to the knee area.
Anyway, my question is do I return to boxing tonight or am I pushing my luck?
Is anyone else accident prone?

Stay inside. Wrap yourself in bubble wrap. Then get somebody to pack you in a box and send you my way.. we can both sit wrapped in bubble wrap watching TV! Plus, if you're with me, I'll get the bad luck so you should be relatively safe from injury |

Amateur....
Broken toe, tripping over a kerb. Gravel rash, that would be walking across a car park in the dark...... Also jarred my shoulder badly as I hit the ground.
Regularly walk into street signs and letterboxes, glass doors etc.
Loads of clumsy incidents in the past, most notable was scooting a trolley across Homebase car park when I noticed two women loading a car. Their tight jeans covered asses distracted me and I fell off the trolley handles, landing palms and nose first.
Ex-wife used to walk 5 yards behind me, she said it was safer and more entertaining.

Fell while indoor climbing at a work team building thing. My partner had not been listening to the bit about keeping the rope fairly tight.
Very bruised knee and incredibly bashed ego. Sympathy was vastly outweighed by piss taking  |

I personally don't believe in the idea of being accident prone. It's simply not being aware of your surroundings.
If I fall down the stairs (which I have done many times before) it's because I wasn't laying attention.
Boxing teachesyou to be constantly aware... So going will help you have less accidents |

I lost the use of one eye about 10 years ago, boxing isn't a short I could risk. It also reduced my peripheral vision. |

Perhaps a more non contact style of martial arts training like Wing chun... Which teach a you to reach to feeling instead of relying on sight.
Eg if someone puts their hand in your pocket you learn to react to feeling it?
There's a woman I train with who's blind and she is AMAZING. She throws me around like nothing the second she feels a grab or hold.... And I'm 6 foot 2 so I fall harder |

Interesting thought, I use the gym for fitness but I could look for what you describe. |
