Any landing you can walk away from...
Could you do your outdoor roof survey work with a drone? You may not pay the full price for these types of injuries now, but your body will likely be paying interest on these injuries when you get past 50 and 60 years in age.
Be safe.
Drones are used in the industry, but they sure cost a lot and add a lot of hassle for their limitations.
Broken bones and paralysis would seem to be much more hassle with greater limitations. You know your limits. I will pray for your safety.
Did the homeowners demand you pay for their broken planter or were they sympathetic over your use of their roof for your luge training?
The damages in this town are basically a tornado. That gutter for example, was already partially ripped off the house already, so it was getting paid for, and what I landed on was the pile of broken yard decorations. While I had cash on hand to pay for anything, anything in question was already getting bought. Right after this, I crawled around in the dirt crawl space counting how many floor joists and support beams were cracked from the wind trying to push the house off the foundation. All that to say that under normal circumstances, that would have been an issue, but in this case, they are probably happy that their house is still standing.
No one came outside to see what was going on. At some point it was mentioned that they thought they heard a sound and hoped it wasn't me falling off the roof. If the window were open, they would have seen me fall past them onto the ground like some comedy movie.
Maybe you could use your fall protection equipment.[handbags]

My stuff doesn't really work on low slope roofs. The real issue is that you shouldn't be on a metal (or woodshake) roof in any kind of moisture. It's one of those things where you get complacent when things aren't scary 100% of the time. Just one of those playing with fire and getting burned events. I'm glad I'm okay to. Thanks.
Glad you’re ok.
Holy cow! That's awful. I'm glad you're okay, but as soon as you can, you should definitely invest in a drone, like everyone else is saying. Really. Next time you may not be as lucky.
That's like investing in a CDL.
Well my CDL increased my income potential. Unless you are using that abbreviation to mean something else.Quote:
