Walking/Hiking Answers: Broken Ankles

Got an answer to the following question?

Broken Ankles

I recently bought a pair of Raichle Mountain GTX Walking and Hiking Boots.

I thought they were the best I have ever had until I was descending Y Garn in Snowdonia, North Wales and had the misfortune to have the ground under me move rapidly downhill leaving me to break my leg /ankle just on the joint.

Is there anything I could have done to avoid this?

Should my boots have prevented this mishap?

Please advise . . .
