I read in the paper yesturday that George Bernard Shaw (the famous writer) fell from a ladder and died in 1950!

I bet you didn't know that!

Does anyone else know any famous people who've died falling from improper ladder use?

Neil Armstrong:

"One small step for man ... one giant leap for mankaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhh! Thud!"


Oh, no - he survived because Moon's gravity is less than Earth's...

And did you know the reason man cannot go back to the moon is because they cannot use ladders on the moon-lander and they cannot make space suits in hi-viz because apparently it has to be breathable and spacesuits can't be - obviously.

from wiki
Hull married twice and had five children. He died in March 1999, at the age of 63. Six weeks after he died, following an inquest, the East Sussex Coroner, Alan Craze, recorded a verdict of accidental death. Hull died following a fall from the roof of his home at Winchelsea, near Rye; he was attempting to adjust the TV aerial in order to get a better picture of the Inter Milan v Manchester United Champions League quarter final, 2nd leg. He fell through the adjoining greenhouse and subsequently died as a result of a massive skull fracture and chest injuries.[6]
