Lack of Gravity in New Zealand

So I have always been a clumsy person and I don't pride myself as being graceful by any means, but I am beginning to think this country has a lack of gravity. Proof #1 Spraining my ankle while getting off my surfboard 1 1/2 months ago at one of the best surfing beaches in the Northern Island, I thought that was one of the lamest ways to hurt yourself, but it keeps getting better, or worse.. Proof #2 Last weekend while hiking, I tripped over some rocks while hiking on the best scenic cliff walk that New Zealand has to offer. Proof #3 If you take a look at people walking down Queen street or really any street in Auckland, you will notice many people tripping, me being one of them from time to time. Proof #4 Today! I was walking to take a test, which is shitty because who has exams on Saturdays anyways, and the door to the building was closed, as I walk around to use the other door, I fall on the uneven sidewalk. Mind you, this is at 8 in the morning so there is heaps of traffic for people going to work and as I fall completely down my water bottle goes tumbling down onto the road through traffic and as a car runs it over, I get splashed (barely, but still) Not only did I further injure my already sprained ankle that has yet to heal, but I also hurt my other foot really bad. I'm hoping its only bruised since I can still walk, but I am really thinking I am going to have to be put in one of those Mana Balls that I zorbed in to get around this country without getting hurt.
