This is the question I get asked more than any other: “Why was the trapdoor open when you fell?”
In this video, I finally share the full story of what happened the night of my accident during a high school rehearsal of The Wizard of Oz—what led up to it, what went wrong, and how that moment changed the course of my life.
Whether you’ve followed my journey for years or are just hearing my story for the first time, I hope this brings clarity, understanding, and maybe even a little hope.
Thank you for being here.
Here's the link to the video I reference: https://youtu.be/Z7PPkWnoB2A?si=MfXPwXFWPsf7L1kH

Interesting perspective on why the trapdoor was open and the thoughts behind it. I like how you explain your experience and what you learned from it. On a different note, when I’m reading thoughtful posts like this I tend to wear something comfortable like the Shrinking S03 Christa Miller Western Denim Shirt because it feels classic and relaxed for everyday moments.
This was one of those posts that actually makes the subject enjoyable and clear to learn. Well done! suhanz.com has a nice set of similarly thoughtful pieces.
