Jason: Sometimes, when competition goes awry, you take a spill. A spill is where you fall down and you might spill some of your belongings onto the ground. So, I’m gonna do my best to drink this tasty energy drink while skiing. And we’ll see if I can avoid taking a spill.
Jason: Whoa!
Jason: Man, epic spill! If I keep taking spills like that, I am never gonna win the gold or rescue my friends!

Discussion
Usually, it is objects that spill, not people. You might spill some beer on the floor at a party, or you might forget to close your bag and spill your belongings. But when a person takes a spill, he falls down.
Jason takes a spill while trying to ski and drink an energy drink at the same time. If an Olympic athlete takes a spill, he usually can’t win a gold medal. So Jason better be careful if he wants to bring gold home from Vancouver and save his friends.
Have you ever taken a big spill? What do you think is the most nerve-wracking sport at the Winter Games?
