I've fallen down and can't get it up......

.

Yep, yesterday I fell from my ladder and now I can't get up. The title suggests other parts damaged but that's just a typo 8) As you can see in the pic my ladder has to stand against the mast and if that mast breaks at the bottom........well, all I can say is you're in for a ride :P I hit the dirt like a sack of potatoes and then continued squirming and moaning in pain.

I was an immediate hit with the people that lived in nearby houses. I guess they loved the excitement of it all and me laughing and joking while I was in agony probably helped :P Then they got to call the ambulance and tell everyone about it of course. They even mentioned me on national radio :| That's just silly, much more important things to report than a Technician who fell off a ladder.

How lucky I was to come out of this thing with just some bruised ribs and shoulder is just amazing. A fall from 9 meters (27 feet) with a heavy concrete mast and power cables following you all the way down.......well, you do the math.
