I have never heard that term. But I can picture it in my head, and I feel bad for laughing 😅

I have a similar sudden stop story.

When I was 5 some of the neighborhood kids thought it would be fun to send me down my driveway sitting on a skateboard. Was fun till I hit the trench cut across the driveway 2/3s the way down :D

I got road rash on my forehead and down my nose 🙃

The first house I lived in was built late 1800’s and had a very steep staircase to the upstairs.

My sister put me on a skateboard and shoved me down those stairs.

We had that house burnt down for a new build when I was 4 so I was pretty young, guessing 3. She’d have been 9.

Surgery, a plate and five screws on the fibula, and had my deltoid ligament anchored back in place cuz I tore it. Just because I felt like racing on roller blades with kids fifty years younger than me back in early February. Bicycling has proved to be the best for recovery. Beats the hell out of the PT torture.

That reminds me of one - same driveway. Was over at the neighbors, and decided to ride their wagon down the hill. Instead of sitting in it, I was kneeling. As I started rolling, my guardian angel said to me "This is gonna hurt!". Did I abort? Hell no! Too stupid. I didn't make the first turn, the wagon flipped, and I got road rash on my arm and gashed my knee open. Stupid kid!

Stupid, but tough, Brother. Kids today don’t take pride in coming home bloodied like we did.

I can't say I was proud of the situation, but nobody thought much of it, including me. Went home, got my wounds cleaned up and bandaged, and carried on about my day.

Another time I ran my coaster go-kart up on a bank and flew off, road rashing my hip. That was on our own driveway. We made these coaster go-karts that you steered with your feet! Mine was the fastest in the neighborhood as I had better wheels and my dad told me to put axle grease in them.
