Re: Today I have...
It was the bad, but funny kind of fall. We were replacing nails on a steel roof with screws and I was taking out the nails, we had shoveled the roof earlier hoping the sun would melt the rest of the snow. It turned slushy but you could walk a bit, I slipped, slid all the way to the end of the roof, heard a guy say, "Bye." I said bye back to him. Then my coveralls got caught on a nail, but I knew there was no way I was going to get back up farther onto the roof, so I pushed myself off of the nail, and did a backwards somersault. I landed mostly on my head and shoulders with a bit on my back and ***. When I hit I rolled backwards over my head and then sat up. I'm definitely sore now, but it was kind of funny. It was only like a 14' drop. Good thing it was a pile of snow that I landed into, otherwise it would have done a lot more damage. Though I'm sure my body shouldn't bend the way it did when I hit the ground.
