definately, but I have heard of much worse, even deaths. However there are so many jobs that work at heights, scafolders etc.

Gives you a heavy reminder to be careful though, its a possibility you dont want to think about when you face that danger day in and day out.

I Know Kerry personally through window cleaning.
He was a bloody good trad shiner.
Fell off ladders doing some fascia cleaning
and shattered both ankles .
Luckily he has found a new venture in his photography interest.
Bloody nice bloke!
So it can happen to anyone .
