Post by: HALTON on May 25, 2015, 05:42:38 pm
for all of you that still use ladders please be careful
Just had some bad news my uncle in Australia has fallen from his ladders painting the soffits of his bungalow and is now in intensive care.
He has broken his collar bone ribs and pelvis and had internal bleeding which touch wood they have stopped the internal bleeding.
Its made me think twice now as i still have the odd few i use ladders.
the fall was not that high just bungalow gutter hight
so please think and be careful.

Sorry to hear about your Uncle. I hope he makes a quick recovery. This sort of occurrence really puts things into perspective ....

It puts into perspective the safe use of ladders.

Most serious injuries and deaths from the use of ladders happens from heights under 2m or 6ft.
