Peter! There have been some, including my own! Worse thing in my opinion is to scare people even unwittingly! Barry will recover thankfully as you did! Not a good idea to be dwelling on those situations too much or long! Many of us have had a bump or two or indeed even a lot worse so let's get up, dust ourselves down and get on with things learning from what happened if possible! Now if one can't then there are other options for them medically! This is probably not a list for discussing such matters but perhaps there is at least one that does!

I myself took a tumble over a station platform and was called a pratt by a certain Mr. Fowlaer for doing so. Brackets. Hope he never takes a tumble end Brackets. I found it quite a scary experience and it was ages before I was okay. I was a new guidedog user and found the insult quite upsetting. Thought there would be more posts of well wishing and concern on this list than just the one from Carol. I hope Barry is okay and I wish him well for a speedy recovery as such an event can be physically upsetting and quite frightful. One can never approach a station platform again with the same confidence. The only good thing to come of this is that Strathclyde transport placed pebbled dimples on all platform edgings from then on. As I approach a platform now at helensburgh central and the rest of the line is that my fall and my subsequent difficult fight made a difference to blind travellers in our area.
