Happened yesterday actually. I work for a private K-12 school entirely for kids with autism, and yesterday went on a field trip to a trampoline park with my class(I'm a para-pro/caregiver helping the teacher). Was having a blast jumping and playing with the kiddos and we decided to do this zipline they have that you drop onto a trampoline foam pit from.
My coworkers had done it just fine, and it's rated for people up to 260lbs it says, now I'm 210 so I figured it'd be fine and went for it. I dropped onto my butt from about 5 feet up, in a cross legged sitting position basically, only the trampoline apparently was only like 2 feet above the concrete under it, I immediately felt the same sharp pain I'd felt in my youth as a skateboarder(I'm 36 now), but so, so, so much worse.
I felt all life and joy leave my body and an immediate sense of dread accompanied by intense shooting pain through my entire lower half of my body and my back. I got up and began pacing around trying to assess just wtf happened. The whole rest of the day I felt intense, shooting pain and especially when sitting down. Considering part of my job is driving, this was awful. At home I had to sit on the couch leaning on one of my booty cheeks or laying down. Decided to go to the doc today after my half day at work today because the pain was so bad and wanted to make sure my back wasn't damaged. The imaging done showed that my tailbone is fractured, but unfortunately nothing can be done about it and I just have to wait it out more or less and do Tylenol and 800mg ibuprofen. I'm still sitting here leaning on one of my rump roasts feeling like an idiot and in pain. I have so much to do in my house right now and feel helpless lol.
TL;DR thought I could do a zip line at a trampoline park and pulled an Adriana Chechik only fracturing my ass bone instead.
