What if Derpy is so clumsy...

... because she's Clark Kenting Ponyville?

If you've never read All-Star Superman... well, you should. It's a great comic. But one of the my favorite ideas from the series is that Clark Kent is always on Superman mode, and his bumbling mild-mannered act is just an act. Whenever he's being clumsy and awkward, Clark is actually stopping accidents from happening to others, like bumping into someone to delay them long enough that a brick doesn't fall on them.

What if Derpy is so ridiculously clumsy because she's trying to stop accidents?
Whether she succeeds or only causes bigger accidents is up to you.

Hm... Makes sense, especially if you take into account that fanon role as a Doctor Whooves companion...
