The "unexpected" that followed good luck. A story about someone falling down the stairs

Hello everyone. This is Oscar.

Last time I shared a story of miraculous good luck, but this time it is the "bad luck edition" that happened on the way home.

You can find the previous [💕Good Luck Edition] here.

[⛈️Bad Luck Edition]

In high spirits, I got off the train at my local station and was walking down the large staircase from the platform toward the ticket gate.
It was around 11 PM on a weekend, so there were many people, and I was walking near the center of the stairs.

Just as I had descended about halfway, I heard a dull sound from above: "Thud".

The moment I tried to turn around, something hit my right leg hard, and I stopped about three steps ahead.

--To my surprise, someone had come tumbling down--

It seems the umbrella the man was holding hit my leg.

[Immediate Response]

"Wait... did you fall?" My mind went blank, but my body moved reflexively.

I moved ahead to support his body so he wouldn't fall any further, and when I asked, "Can you understand me?", the man replied, "Hmm, oh dear?"

He was conscious.

However, if he moved suddenly, I would be dragged down with him.

Judging this, I stabilized the man with my knees while adjusting my posture so that both of my hands were free.

[Cooperation from those around me]

Someone who was in front of us ran off saying, "I'll go call the station staff!"

Although there didn't appear to be any external injuries,
there was blood on the stairs... It might be the back of his head.

The moment I tried to ask someone to take over holding him steady, about three people nearby rushed over, calling out to him and pressing a towel against the back of his head.

Everyone's response was truly wonderful, and I was moved.

When I asked, "Did anyone see where they fell from?" the reply was, "They fell from the very top."

--They must have fallen at least ten steps--

I felt relieved that the man was able to talk, while saying, "Let's keep your body and neck immobilized like this."

[Station staff arrives]

The station staff arrived immediately, and since they said, "Thank you. We've called an ambulance," I explained the situation and left it to them.

[Noticing my own injury]

When I was leaving the ticket gate, I finally noticed that my right leg was hurting.

When I looked, there was a bruise, and
a chill ran down my spine 💧

--If I had been walking a little further to the right, I might have been caught up in it and fallen too--

The lingering feeling of good luck had completely vanished, overwritten by this unfortunate event.

"Can such things really happen on the same day?"

But thinking about it now, maybe I was lucky just to have avoided being caught up in it.

[Advice for everyone]

Finally, one thing I have been careful about ever since.

Let's walk near the handrail on stairs.
