I can say from many, many experiences, you rarely get bruises or scrapes sliding out on ice. It’s nearly impossible to get scrapes because the ice is slick, and even if you hit a gritty patch, you are usually completely covered in clothing. Similarly, you aren’t very likely to get bruised because sliding out is usually a slow fall, you’re not very falling very far, and once again, you’re covered in a lot of clothes that cushion your fall.

I’ll be sure to take your experience into account next time I fall on my ass.
How do you fall on your ass? The geometry just doesn’t make sense to me.
