HAS this ever happened to you? You are sailing through the air on your favourite horse and you know the landing won’t bode well. You know that it’s not the going the way you had planned it and after all the anticipation of a glory day ahead it all ends up in tears. Unfortunately it has happened all too often to many of us, with our first thoughts perhaps of “this is going to hurt” or “oh no, don’t end this way” or perhaps you might say “steady, steady, steaddddy, whoa,whoa, whooooaaa dammit” - but all too late.

So why, despite all our best efforts, do some of us come home with a sore bum or via a diversion to A&E?
