Is the ability to be accident prone hereditary?

It has been sooo long since I have written a blog, that I felt it was time. A couple weeks ago, Kayla broke her arm. She fell out of the booth at the Lazy Dog Cafe in Huntington Beach. This just goes to show you that even a small fall can cause a lot of pain. We took her to the emergency room and found she had a small fracture in her arm. She had to have a cast placed on her arm. Three weeks later I took her back to the doctor where he took off the cast but the arm was still broken. So, she is currently in a shorter cast for another week and a half.

Meanwhile, two weeks after Kayla broke her arm my mom and stepfather took Kayla to the park. My mom took Kayla down the slide where she began to tip over. To brace her fall, she put her foot into the ground. Needless to say, her foot did stick but the rest of her leg kept moving. My stepfather had to walk Kayla back to the house while my mom sat on the ground in pain. He got the car took her the ER where they took xrays that showed my mom had broken both bones in her leg above her ankle.

This would cause my mother to have surgery on her leg. The break was so major it took a metal plate and eight screws to put it all back together. She just went to the doctor yesterday to get a permanent cast. She took pictures, gruesome. The incision had to be about a foot long on each side of her ankle. I could not believe the sight of it in the pictures. The doctor placed another cast on her foot and told her she had to stay off of it for another month. He even told her she wouldn't be putting any weight on it for four months. I cannot believe that my mom goes from chasing Kayla around the house to sitting in a chair and getting up only to pee.

Now, if you know anything about me or my brother you know how we have the craziest injuries to ourselves as well as the people around us. ME: both ACLs torn, broken jaw, knocked out a tooth and cracked the two next to it, broken collarbone, several sprained ankles. ERIC: broken collarbone (twice), hyperextended arm, several stitches, several sprained ankles. Could all this be hereditary? Is is possible Kayla is destined to be accident prone? Let's all hope and pray she isn't. This is all I handle at the moment.
