Splatting on the steps of Westminster Abbey

We were late trying to get to the Evensong. As we entered the gate the guards said that phones needed to be turned off. I was using mine for GPS navigation, but it had gone to sleep so I needed to pass the 9 dot security code to turn it on to turn it off. I had successfully done that many times while walking in London. However this time I kept failing and kept walking. Not noticing the first step to the entrance. Tripped and fell flat on my body, tensed my neck muscles enough so my face did not hit the stones. Threw my right arm up to break my fall. Glasses fell off and the cell phone went flying. Had at least 5 people rush to my aid, helped me up to sit on a window ledge while someone got an ice pack for my right knee which hurt like hell. End result, sore knee but no bruising, sore neck muscles from preventing my head from slamming into the ground, pulled upper arm and shoulder muscles from breaking the fall. None of which prevented me from continuing our massive amount of walking we are doing. It was a full Church of England service which we weren't expecting, so lots of standing up and sitting down for the next hour. Luckily no kneeling involved. 7 days later and I still can't kneel.  

With the massive amount of falls that occur to stroke survivors, you do expect your doctor to have fall protocols? So you know how to fall without hurting yourself? Or are you just getting fall prevention stuff? You doctor should be able to analyze your bone structure to tell you if you are strong enough to fall without breaking bones.
