Ow my Leg!

I know that this was not necessarily significant due to the other major problems with this movie, but when Wayne fell down the steps and mangled his leg it brought a tear of laughter to my eyes. How can you fall that short of a distance and suffer such damage. It was like 3 steps!!! My grandma would bounce back up without a broken hip. At first I thought he was attacked by dog or by a ghost but no he fell.

Later he was complaining about the pain and how they needed to help him before the real the pain hit. Though he looked quite bored before he nimbly skidded over and looked out the bars. No wonder he was the first to die. Budget cutbacks always cause these kinda deaths.

My aunt's house's front door has a small porch with three small steps leading up. The total height is probably less than 16 inches (40cm). Once, leaving after a New Year's party, my mother slipped on some snow or ice and fell down those three little steps. She broke bones in her lower leg and ankle in six places and had to have surgery, with steel pins and screws and such to hold the bones together and was on crutches for six or eight weeks.

It's definitely possible.

Agreed. The amount of apparent damage to his skin was ridiculous. It looked as though he'd fallen into an acid bath.

The last time I saw a leg like that was my own. Words of wisdom, NEVER pass out drunk while sitting in cage with a horde of hungry ferrets.

Haha, I immediately commented when I saw his leg injury "That doesn't look like he broke his leg, it looks like a zombie attacked his leg!"

I have a friend who fell out of a hammock, less than 3 feet high, and broke her neck. Had to have several surgeries and wore a halo for a year.
I also met a woman at my son's ortho surgeon's office whose daughter had fallen down the steps...carpeted steps...into their sunken living room and broke both of her arms.
Sometimes it's not how far you fall, but how you land, that counts.
That doesn't make this movie any better, tho.

If I had a dollar for every time I got distracted...Oh, look!! A puppy!!
