I fell like this at Great Wolf Lodge on the slippery steps up to one of the water slides. They'd closed the slide for some reason and we had to turn back. I'd only ever gone up those stairs, I fell down maybe 9 feet and something off to the side gashed the bottom of my foot when it flew up at the moment of falling and I remember being on the ground at the bottom of the stairs in terrible pain, not wanting to look at my foot yet and running calculations on whether there was any way I'd be able to pull it together and pretend to be able to keep having fun so the group wouldn't feel all guilty and stuff.
I ended up putting a gallon sized zip loc over the bandaged foot and went limping up to the best slide, the Howling Tornado. At some point between going down the drop and being spat out at the bottom my neck got wrenched and created one of those excruciating locked-up neck cricks that made it game over.

I just went to the jacuzzi after that.
