Super User clayton86 Posted June 18, 2013 Super User Posted June 18, 2013 And I realized I do a lot of fishing lol. In all seriousness that really does happen I fell off the roof today head first did the scorpion maneuver and landed on my neck and shoulder 15' bellow on a 150lb steel mop cart that I was lowering over the wall. No injurys I am extremely sore an have some road/ roof rash on my shoulder and arm I was back on my feet instantly a little short of breath but fine and went right back to work. Fun times Quote

Super User J Francho Posted June 18, 2013 Super User Posted June 18, 2013 HOLY CRAP! Glad you're alright. May need a T partner again this year. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted June 18, 2013 Super User Posted June 18, 2013 Dang it boy. Glad your okay. Oh yeah, welcome to the trades!!! That's why they pay us so good! Now you gotta helluva story to tell. Be safe up there. Make sure to tie off when your by the edge of those roofs. The OSHA, will catch you and nail you to he door if you aren't. Those harness' ain't comfortable, but they apparently save lives. However, that's why I liked connecting as an iron worker. You didn't have to tie off. Everyone else did, except the connectors. Least on some job we didn't. 1 Quote

Super User clayton86 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Super User Posted June 18, 2013 Oh that car ride home made things stiffen up sitting for a hour and a half and now both shoulders and hips are tender. Gotta sign a accident report tomorrow they said if I can't get outa bed don't and the safety guy will drive to my residence to bring the report. I'm sure it's just sore muscles it was a good drop but no bones were broke so I'm good. If you guys haven't been able to tell from this post and previous ones when I had my stomach/gal bladder issues I'm thick headed when it comes to my health. I know ill be hurting more in the AM but ill still drag my self to work just how I am. Iv had perfect attendance at every job and school iv been to feeling like crap or injurys don't mean ya get the day off I'd rather work. Now if they send me home that's a different story lol. Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 18, 2013 Super User Posted June 18, 2013 Now that is just plain scary. Thank goodness you are OK. I quit going up ladders a long time ago as it is just too dangerous after you clear age 30. Glad you are OK. Please try to be a little more careful in the future. Quote
