ORIGINAL: bigedmustafa

I was walking my wing back to my car to load up for the evening and go home. I had to step over a parking barrier cable and I tripped going over it. I held the wing up nice and high and level so it wouldn't get damaged, but smacked my head pretty good on the gravel parking lot.

Part of me said that I should have landed on the wing, but my head was just fine after a few minutes (though some might debate that) and I'm still flying the plane!
I think you have your priorities set up just fine. Given the choice of a sprained ankle or a busted plane, I'd take the ankle any time.

By the way, all of these stories make me feel MUCH less embarrassed.
