"The Great Sock Slide of 2025"

It will happen.

And they will require a license for you to operate your socks. Plus you will be limited to 10 socks. Any more and it’s prison time.

You know what you've done, don't you? California will pass Proposition 65. The Sock Initiative. Mandatory instruction set for every sock. Mark my word, it'll happen.

Thanks a lot, Budman :x

When socks are outlawed only outlaws will have socks.
 
  • Did other people successfully use those stairs before you? After you?
  • Many people target fixate. Where were you looking? Looking where you want to go may be part of the solution.
  • Did you take time to warm the socks prior to attempting to travel down the stairs?
  • How new were the socks? Did you take time to scrub them in prior to asking them to perform their best?
  • Were the socks the right size for your skill level?
  • When was the last time you performed a pre-walk check of your socks?
  • Was your suspension properly set-up? Is your sag set correctly?
  • Were there any clues that you may have missed prior to this crash?
  • Was this path of travel new to you? Even experienced sock wearers are at higher risk within the first 3 months of acquiring new socks.
  • Did you pre-run the stairs before attempting to go 'all out'?
  • Were you distracted in the moments leading up to the crash?
  • Were you trying to keep up with someone else?
  • Would a late-apex have provided you an increased margin of safety?
  • What will you do differently should you find yourself in a similar situation in the future?
 
There ya go.

I forgot to warm up my socks!!

Prop 65 - The dumb Bud Sock Bill.

This outlaw is wearing compression socks right now. :laughing

I sure do appreciate ya’ll.
 
 
I have this set of DVDs,
I step back in time,
It's fun, finding the beginning of certain sayings, and how they morfed thru the ages.
Big change from year one to year two, sock it to me showers, had to go.

"I may be old, time to be bold,
Here come the Judge, , ,"
 
Just an observation... seems "track" socks should have been switched to a soft "rain" type to better handle the inclement track conditions!
Hmmmm, wonder if the team principal was advised on sock selection prior to the "incident"?! :later
 
I think your sock warmers weren’t working properly and you went out on cold socks.

Back when I had a house I did the stair slide one too many times. My stairs were bright finished oak.
I did a boat thing to them, rebar pushed with subtle non-skid ;)
