Top that!

I've fallen off an Antonov AN-2 twice!

Fell off the wing after trying to remove the pitot cover when it was raining! Shoes with 'cleated soles' dont work on wet alloy. Then found out that white leather flying gloves soak up blood from grazed hands very efficiently.

Also slipped and fell out of the cabin door . Wet steps + dodgy soles on the shoes=biggest bruise you ever saw on an ar$e.
