This is an advanced trick. Try it with someone behind you and in front of you for the first time. Use only on long steps so that you can pause between each step. If you are going to fall, fall backwards, not forwards. A way you can remember which way to fall is [...]

Yet it has [...]
The backseat of a car is a great place to be especially if it’s a big 1980s Cadillac, and there’s a hot babe next to you. The only problem is, getting in and out can be a pain – the back doors are shorter which makes hauling your butt into that seat a little more [...]

Falling out of a chair is not the coolest thing that can happen, but fortunately, there are ways to get back in. The first is the complete 90 degree method. Position yourself at a 90 degree angle close the front of the chair. Lock your breaks. Pull your legs [...]
