It happened in 1996. I was playing badminton with my classmates one afternoon in our PE class. The birdie flew to the top of the classroom and got stuck. So I tried to get the birdie down from the top of the classroom/ceiling. I moved a chair there and stood on it and then I found a broom handle. I lifted the broom and stood on the chair to try get the birdie down. But I found it is still hard to reach it, then I just threw the broom at the top of the room ceiling and it reached the birdie but the broom fell from the ceiling and nearly/almost hit me. It looked very dangerous because it nearly dropped on my head. I tried to avoid it by jumping down swiftly, but l fell on the floor and wrist broken broke my right wrist.
