That is my worst nightmare come true. I have brazenly walked on those my whole life and actually scoffed at those who would walk around as paranoid. Now, I'm doomed.

salad beat me to it. cha-ching! a few broken bones and a morphine drip would be worth the payoff. the morphine drip alone, come to think of it...

You fall through a subway grate and you've won the lottery - either the city pays out, or you finally shuffle off this mortal coil; it's a win-win situation. I walk on grates every chance i get.
