Hey friend, it can happen to anyone. I took a nasty tumble a couple of years ago onto my brick walkway while carrying my 1-frame, 12 ga GH with fishtail lever and beautiful Damascus barrels. In the case of falling down while hunting I have perfected the very athletic body roll so that some part of my face or body will come into contact with a tree trunk or rock outcropping instead of a Parker. I just can't explain why I couldn't execute such a manuver on my walkway. The gun suffered such damage that to repair it would cost nearly as much as the gun was worth before the fall. Dave Suponski saw the gun and can attest to my inexcusable clumsiness.
