hunterDWL Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 was helping a friend put a new roof on his house yesterday standing right beside him talking to him on a walk board when all of a sudden he lost his balance and was gone he fell about 15 feet on to the edge of his porch roof then about another 8-10 feet on to a side walk he fractured his wrist fractured his skull fractured his back fractured some ribs put ahole in his skull he had some intrenial bleed so they flew him out as a precaution the doctors said he will be fine after about 2-3 months so that was good news today it just makes you think how quick things can go wrong my stomach is still quizey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
