Ice falling

We had ice pellets over the weekend, then quite a bit of rain. Left a friends house at 1am, still a slight drizzle. Had on dress shoes and fell directly on my left hip in only 6 steps. The rain wasn't quite warm enough to wash away the thin layer of ice still around.  The worst part was trying to get up again, managed to do it without crawling to the grass, although it did stain my pants knees. I'm obviously working on stressing my hip bone to make it stronger, similar to the way you condition your knuckles in fighting. 
The hip muscles stiffens up every time I sit for a period of time, but hasn't stopped my 10,000 daily steps.
You should walk on ice like this:
