JUST missed impaling myself on a 4' wooden picket fence behind me.
And we ALMOST had it on a camera phone. By the time my friend turned around to shoot the pic from a distance, I was half way to the ground already.

Holy crap. Take care of yourself man.
My dad fell two and a half stories high while on the ladder and landed on concrete. The bottom slipped out so he fell with the ladder. Luckily all he got was a bump on his head and aches everywhere else. No broken bones.

Do you mind not trying to kill yourself before WCBF.......We need you in one piece.....Actually I need you in one piece to maintain MY car 
But seriously, I am glad that you okay, and that nothing was broken. Lay on the couch (sofa) and teach Bo how to open the fridge and get you a beer

Glad you missed the fence...sorry to hear it happened...I can't imagine falling that far at our age.
Heck, I can't even handle a night out dancing anymore...darned knees creak for two days afterwards.

I am shocked also that Bill hasn't taught Bo any better tricks yet.

Yeah Bill, a ladder is where I learned most of what I know about physics (or is it fisics?) every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I jumped off the right side of the ladder at about 8 feet up, the ladder fell to the left, and DID come crashing down on a decorative wooden fence, but luckily (?) the fence broke my fall, and as a thank you I broke the fence. Hope there are no more permanent injuries, and get better!
