TIFU by trying to be Superman in a rolling office chair tifu

This literally happened about 30 minutes ago. I recently sold my kitchen table and chairs and so my kitchen is pretty much open from end to end. I'm moving tomorrow so I was in the kitchen packing and listening to music on my phone and suddenly had a fun idea (or so I thought).

I decided I would kneel in an office chair and try to push myself across the kitchen leaning forward like Superman. I got into position and kicked off from the wall. Apparently I kicked off at an angle and the chair veered towards the refrigerator. The wheels caught the bottom of the fridge and down I went.

I slammed into the fridge with my right arm then promptly fell out of the chair. I instinctively threw out my dominant hand to catch myself and as I hit the ground, my fingers bent back. Then my right shin hit the floor. As all of this is happening, my cat walks in and sees this and then flies into the other room and upstairs.

I laid on the floor for several minutes in pain and mad at myself. Luckily it seems like a mild sprain of my wrist and a few scrapes and bruises are all I got but this was definitely a TIFU moment and I am so mad at myself now that I have to lift heavy boxes and clean with a hurt wrist.
