I know there has to be some out there. Mine happened at the gym.
I was on the elliptical machine reading my kindle. I was so focused on my reading that my foot came off the foot step area. (I was going in reverse rotation) My foot came off at the wrong moment (when i should be going down on the step and I wasn't on the step any more.) and my body became off balance....which of course led to me falling off the machine. My earphones, which are attached to my Zune that is attached to the same case as my kindle eventually came down with me. whatwas going through my head:.... "Not my kindle". So I luckily landed in the narrown area between my machine and the one next to me (empty). Meanwhile, my kindle was dangling on the handle on the machine thanks to my earphones. Thank goodness for 1. the fact I go to the gym in the middle of the night, when its sparcely occupied. 2. My mom running over from her machine and immediately grabbing my kindle and zune. (she bought my K for me)
So now I am limiting my use of my kindle to the stationary bike when it come to working out. I am never attaching my mp3 player to my kindle case again either.
PS: if you are wondering how I am...I'm okay. Embarassed with a small bruise, but good.
