Talking Point: Accidents and Disasters

A doctor treats an accident-prone child

Life can trip along so smoothly. You are perched on a ladder, nailing in that last picture hook before your weekend's DIY is over. In fact everything is going too smoothly. It is at moments like this, life lays the proverbial banana skin in your path and you land up in a heap on the floor.

This week on Talking Point, we are discussing your greatest accidents and disasters. Whether you were an accident-prone child, a teenager with two left feet or are an adult who is courted by disaster, we want to hear from you!

  • Are you accident-prone? Do disasters haunt your every move?

  • As a child did you regularly break bones and skin your knees?

  • Have you ruined your sister's wedding dress on the morning of the big day?

  • Have you crashed your car on the way to a crucial job interview?

  • Has your cat ruined a dinner party by eating the lasagne you left cooling on the side?

  • Or do you know someone else who is a walking disaster area?

  • Do you feel better knowing that accidents and disasters happen to all of us?
