In my freshman dorm, there were three stairs between my floor and the building door. For some reason I never took them one at a time while descending; I just sort of jumped\*. The time I did that and tried landing on a very-fresh-and-badly-sprained ankle was not my best moment.

\*I suppose it is possible that my tendency to do things like this is related to my prior comment about knees. But, still.
