Need help for Carry option please help

[Jordan1010]

Hello fixed blade carriers,
I have been struggling with how to carry my fixed blade, I decided the small of my back was comfortable and less noticeable than all the others but I remembered about reading how many people got spinal injuries due to carrying a firearm around that area and falling. Do you guys think carrying a blade around there would cause harm such as a firearm would? I also read about how an officer carried cuffs on his back hip side and got injured from falling on them.

SOB (small of the back) carry is pretty common in our world and we deal with horses that can get broncy on occasion. I have heard those stories too and I can see that there would be some merit with a firearm with its greater bulk carried SOB. But I can guarantee ya this, for every officer that got injured by falling on a handcuff case there's hundreds of thousands that didn't. Was the fall severe enough that he was gonna get injured anyways? We never hear that part of the story. Lots of injuries from falls out there were folks didn't land on anything, quien sabe?
