Are random no reason sprains a thing or is it a bug?

[AnActualDuck]

I recently started a new interloper run and literally within the first few seconds suddenly my wrist and ankle sprained. I mean it makes sense to have a random chance of spraining something, heck I've been walking along IRL and sprained my ankle cause I guess it just gave up on me. I'm just wondering if this is an intended feature, sort of a bit of randomness thrown in, or if I'm experiencing a bug.

I've been seeing this a lot lately, but weirdly for me I don't get a lot of sprains.

Just found out a day ago.  If standing try not to look around.

The answers are inside this thread.

changes in incline, even minor ones, seem to make a difference to your probability - but some survivors just seem to have glass wrists and ankles.  The fall/slip indicators seem to get overshadowed by the sprain notifications, but if you watch for it, there's usually a bobble to indicate a fall/slip.

How much you're carrying definitely affects risk for sprain as does the type of terrain you're crossing.
