I did a middle school game several years ago that had a tartan floor...basically a few layers of latex paint over concrete...a kid had stepped on the floor directly from a towel and left a wet footprint on this nasty surface.
Ball changed direction and my foot came down part in, part out of this wet spot and my foot kind of grabbed and then was not touching the floor anymore. A very bad thing since that was the only foot on the floor at the time.
I went splat right in front of the home coach, who was about 6'4" 260, who just bent over and picked me up.
My hip was sore for a couple of weeks.
I had a partner that had a run in with a wrestling mat rolled up in a corner once. He was lead in transition, the ball pulled back out and he was not there anymore. I saw his feet flopping around trying to get himself unstuck, I did not stop play, I just did one whistle for about ten seconds. I figured the less attention the better.
