I jump and slide and grab the gun but i could stop in time and fell off the damn bulding. Luckily it was only like a 13 foot drop but i had alot of speed in the fall.. i landed on my feet but my legs are sore as ----. Boss wasn't there thank god he would have wondered why i "didn't have my company harness on (gay)". anyway, yeah it woulda sucked if i woulda snagged my leg on something on the way down and landed head first.

Re: Fell off a roof today.
Reading this thread made me lol. It kinda reminded me of this older man near my home who was doing some roof repairs on his house with a friend. They were using a "custom" wooden ladder. The friend went up the ladder first and told the man to be careful because the ladder was pretty old. The older man whilst climbing the ladder in a rough, stomping manner was like " dont tell what to do" half way through his stompin up the ladder (about 9ft) the ladder snaps in two. The man goes down back first. Luckily lands on a nice pile of sand
