Ladders. Most serious workplace accidents in a lot of trades can be linked back to falling from a hight. Don't be cocky when up a ladder, even little ones.

What happened? Was this at work or home?

[-] altrent2003@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

At home, due to complete user error. I have a 4x4ft foldable ladder which I did not lock properly. I did see myself falling in slow motion, which feels really weird. And i dont know why this surprised me, but there's nothing you can do to save your fall, you just fall straight down like a bag of potatoes. Nothing broken, just bruises and some pain. I feel really lucky.
