Do you ever fall while hiking?

If so, how often do you fall while hiking?

What has been your worst fall while hiking?
 
I slipped and fell on the 'hourglass ridge' portion of Mt. Alice, and I was very lucky I didn't fall off the ridge or hurt myself. It was really scary but it didn't make me want to stop hiking. I don't know what I could've done to avoid slipping, maybe do shorter hikes. I had hiked over 10 miles with 5000' of elevation gain when it happened. I still had 8 miles to hike back to the car.

I'd imagine it was a careful 8 miles back, though, right?!
