Does anyone know a window cleaner who broke his back falling while cleaning guttering in hull this week?
My friend told me this morning of a close friends husband, who fell onto a conservatory.
Hes paralyzed from the neck down, severed spinal cord.
Poor guy, and sad for his missus, her 1st husband died of cancer 8yrs ago.

A really sad case and just goes to show that accidents can happen to anyone at any time. Other than to get over gates/small walls, I absolutely refuse to get up a ladder for this very reason; Ok I know that I could fall from a low height and still do some serious damage but for me it's about being able to tell my daughter with confidence that I will see her in the evening safe and well.
I had a customer last week asking me to go up to clean the gutters of a 3 storey house. I told her it wasn't worth the risk and she said 'what's the matter with you, do you not want to earn some money?'. I asked the cantankerous old bint how she would feel if I fell and was injured while cleaning her gutters and in all seriousness she said that it wouldn't be anything to do with her!! :o
No job or money is worth that sort of risk where a safer method is available.
My thoughts are with him and his family.

So sad, my thoughts are with him and his family.
I know a bloke who fell while doing a church of all places, now wheelchaired for life, one of the main reasons I have made the big wfp leap.
Best of luck to the above named wc with his recovery.
