"Land with all of your weight on one foot. That way you won't break both of them"
Had a co-worker fall off a ladder last November while putting Christmas lights up on the first story roof line of his house. He fell sideways and landed on one leg and ended up fracturing one of his lower vertebrae due the uneven force on his spine. He just returned to work the first week of February and is still in a back brace.

Mark, I have a 12 foot fiberglass step ladder and a 12 foot long pool cleaning brush you can use if it will help. Give me a call at 254-226-0054 if you want them. If not you can come over and I will teach you how to do a good PLF(parachute landing fall). Scott I thought your name was Danny, not Mark. You look like a Danny, not a Mark. If your name is Mark, please change to Danny so I’m not confused.

What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

The best way to fall from 15’ is to watch someone else do it. This!

A fall never hurt anyone. It is the impact that does the damage.

Back in the 70's, I was 25 feet up painting on the side of a horse barn at a youth camp. Gust of wind sent me on an adventure. I was able to hook the ladder with one arm. Ladder twisted and luckily it stayed against the building as it slide down slowing the fall to the ground. The bucket of red paint went flying. Was lucky the ladder didn't break my arm or worse. Not sure what the boss was more pissed about. The red paint everywhere or the long scratches/gouges the ladder put in the side of the barn.
May you be treated the way you treat other people, today and everyday!
