A member asked:

If you're wearing heels and you jump out of a car and land on the heel of your foot, can that injure your coccyx?

It depends : It is unusual to hurt your coccyx by landing on your heel especially when you jumped out of car unless you land on your buttocks after the heel if you fall from height of several feet then you can possibly injure your sacro illiac joints which is serious injury i hope that helps.
