When I was a kid growing up in England I used to watch a sports show on Saturday mornings. They had steeple racing and when the jockeys fell sometimes their hats fell off and landed right side up on the ground. I actually thought that the jockeys had sunk into the soft mud and couldn't figure out why no one was trying to help them. Yes I am weird!
