Orphaned Land Guitarist Breaks Left Clavicle

Israel's Orphaned Land has posted the following update online:

"Orphaned Land guitarist Yossi Sassi-Sa'aron broke his left clavicle and is expected a healing period of at least six weeks, in which he probably won't be able to play the guitar at all. The accident happened during a peaceful sabbath in the park, while Sassi-Sa'aron was walking on his hands during a game, tripped and landed badly on his left shoulder. The specific fraction is the left clavicle near the acromion and as a result his left arm was fixed to his chest and he cannot move it and of course can't play musical instruments. Friends reported he's suffering from severe pain, yet he's constantly smiling as usual and he is laughing with his doctors. Sassi-Sa'aron composes and plays on various instruments in Orphaned Land, including bouzouki, oud, saz, electric and classic guitars."

When you fall while walking on your hands, is it still called tripping? I think the term should be "asking for it."

Uh-oh, I sound like his parent. :/
