Well it is either some idiot running with the wind or the result of Sister Mary Mullins slapping me on the back in the church pew.

I say, walking into a verticle surface as in a wall or door. First the toes hit it, then the knees, then the nose, or a very hard hook turn or canopy surge WTF too low !!

It is stretching before exercise. You reach for your toes, and put your nose on your knees (or attempt to).

Toes,Knees and Nose

Running with the wind reminds me of my last jump at Bragg before going to Oki.

C-124 Sicily North. O-4 type came screaming between me and my buddy. MOFO hit Toes,Knees and Nose. Steel pot was throwing up 2 big columns of sand as he plowed a piece of the DZ. Joker came walking back to us cleaning sand out of his nose, ears,mouth. Wasn't a pretty PLF. We were jumping MC-1's.

I always called TKN "landing in the prone ready to fight"!

Land and dig a hasty fighting position all in one motion.

It sounds like what happens to my toddler when he is running and forgets about the transition from tile to carpet. You can tell where he is and what happened by the "thunk."

The only thing worse than a "TKN" is a night "HAH" heels, ass, head!

Dayum!
I performed a HAH when abseiling in a cave, but probably nowhere NEAR as bad as that... all I got was a nose bleed and a good headache!

Question: If you hit heels first, followed by ass and (back of) head; how did you get a nose bleed?
