I'll hazard a guess that would not be a good thing.


I fell down those same steps about five years ago. I ripped a door
off its hinges to try to stop my fall. I landed with the door in one
hand, and hit my chest on the back of a chair.


It hurt like hell, and I had trouble breathing for a while.

I don't doubt you. But why would you try door surfing in _your_
condition, sweetie?
