A high heel injury

I'm surprised this doesn't happen to female athletes more often. It's got to be difficult to even walk while wearing high heels.

The #2 female tennis player in the world will miss 4-6 weeks (including, possibly, The French Open) because she suffered an injury wearing high heels to her cousin's wedding. She stepped on someone's foot, lost her balance, and voila--ligaments were stretched on top of a torn ankle joint capsule and tendon sheath.

Details are here.
