Well had a small heart attack the other day. While walking Duke on the main road I tripped. While I have no idea what it was over before I knew it I was plummeting towards the ground and instinctively dropped the leash without thinking trying to break my fall. As soon as I hit the ground I looked around for Duke, who was about 8 feet away at the very edge of the road. This is a busy road, with cars everywhere. My heart stopped all I could think about was OMG he's going to run onto the road. I was still on the ground at this moment, and even though I wasnt hurt I knew if he saw anything and bolted I would be able to get up and grab his lead in time. In that same instant I screamed not angerily but just out of panic STAY. Wouldn't you know it he did I got up, got his lead brushed myself off and away we went.
None the less just another reason to proof your stays, come in a wide variety of situations, cuz ya never know.
