Crikey but I hear you on that!
Forty years or more ago I dropped a gearbox on my right knee while I was lying underneath the machine. I managed somehow to extricate myself, then got from my workshop to home by using a shovel as a crutch.
Now, if I have to stand for too long my right knee will suddenly just give out.
If I'm fortunate I can save myself by grabbing something, but if not...I'm base over apex onto my nose or backside.
Not a pretty sight.
