It's not bloody funny when you land - I had a similar episode on my son's drive a couple of weeks ago, in freezing fog. 

I landed in three stages - first my flabby arse, then my shoulders, and finally the back of my head.  Ow!

I thought he handled it quite well, the car going past as he was sliding down didn't help though

It had a "he might just make it... ah, no" quality to it. Epic attempt though.

At the end when he rolls into the post, I imagine a clang and tweety bird sounds.

That could've been really nasty, the driver of that Car going past might have lost control through pissing himself laughing.

That santa gnome thingy spent all night pissing on his drive, sadistic gnome santa thingy that it is.

First time I have ever encountered frozen rain was frightening - pensioners on the pavement for over 30 minutes, buses stopped, ambulances couldn't get to people, . . . Literally could not cross the road because of the camber where you just slide back to where you came from.

My first thought was “Oh god, he’s going to snap a limb here and there is going to be unnatural angles and bone sticking out”.  Then it was “OMG, he’s going to get run over!!!”.  Then it was “Oh....  is that it?  A bit of mud on his suit?  What a shit video.”

Do you think I’ve become hardened by watching too many YouTube clips?

He wouldn't be bothered by a few broken bones ......he's a proper Hardman
.....freezing morning ,must be sub -zero to be black ice and this chap goes out in shirtsleeves with a thin jacket over his shoulder 
..............my mother would have had a fit ; " You'll catch your death of cold "

Similar black ice incident happened to me just before Christmas.  Limped home covered in mud and shame.
