Hi Doodle V. I once fell 25 feet from off a ladder while working in a garage, who's name will go unmentioned. I was doing a job, trying to put up a pneumatic airline that was hooked up in the ceiling. One of my wanna' be funny, Ha Ha M&F'rs of a fellow employee sprayed me with water from a squirt bottle, that wasn't the problem so much as the ladder just gave way underneath me.
I fell like giant bird, straight down. Luckily I happened to fall, even from that height, just perfectly enough to where I didn't do any serious harm to myself. It was funny, yes, at least I can see other people viewing the situation and why they would laugh their asses off. My ego as well as my behind was bruised, but I shook it off.
In hindsight, my co-workers stated that if it had been them, they would've waited for an ambulance to pick them up. Lawsuit Lawsuit, worker's compensation.
