Answer 1

Hi,
LOL! funny question!
You'd probably buckle and fall straight over. Ankle bones are not that weak!

Answer 2

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.

So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.

Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.

A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.

Heal your ankle fully & fast?

Answer 3

It depends on your bone density, previous injuries to that area, and your muscle strength.

Some people would be able to do that and not have any problem. Then again others might sustain a sprain, torn ligaments, torn muscles, or a broken bone.

Keep in mind, it also doesn't just involve your ankle. It involves your knee, your hip, and even your spine. Could possibly create small hairline fractures without even realizing it.

Answer 4

It depends on how you land, how much you weight etc. One person can just stand up and break their ankle and others can twist their ankle on a rock and not do anything to it so there's a lot of factors that play into it.

Answer 5

It really really depends on the way in which you land, the height of the chair and the way in which you move your body to almost "absorb" the impact. If done as the average person would on the average chair, then nothing would happen.

Answer 6

I strongly doubt you would break it, unless of course you are hugely overweight or you land funny.

I guess from the question you are pretty young, so therefore bone density is likely to be good.

If you are trying to break something try a higher height like off of a 2 storey building, much more likely to break something, although more likely to be calcaneum or acetabulum.

Good luck (lol)

Answer 7

Depends. If the chair is in the middle of the floor, and you don't try to tilt over sideways or anything else daft, you'll be fine. If, however you place the chair at the top of the stairs, there's a good chance you'll get to take a nice ambulance ride!

Answer 8

possibly. when i jumped off a coal bunker when i was 10 i landed on both feet and my tibia broke. depends how far u jump and how u land.

Answer 9

well certainly if you land the right way it won't do anything, but if you land with it bended to the side you'll probably twist it a little.

Answer 10

depends on how you land and if there is a weakness in your ankle
