[Sir Squeaky]

I had my first fall since I started window cleaning nearly 10 years ago.

I was trying to hook my hose around a plant pot and slipped on the water I left on the patio.

I fell flat on my side, and couldn't put my arm out to save myself without snapping my carbon pole.
So my left arm took the full force.

It's swollen by the elbow and hurts to move.
It's also grazed and it bled a bit.
Bruised hip too...

You lot are liars.

B***ocks.

LOL squeaky it is safe if you look where your going.

[LWC]

lol

dear me, your still not fully converted are you 

[Sir Squeaky]

I did look where I was going.

I slipped on a wet patio.
Good job it wasn't the customer.

One day it will be.

[NWH]

Squeaky have you thought of getting a backpack i might give one a try myself for those houses with plant pots everywhere.

[Sir Squeaky]

Nope, got a bad back.

[SherwoodCleaningSe]

You made me laugh so much my sides are hurting.

My hose got caught on this kind of clay scarecrow today, broke both of it's arms off.     Offered to buy a new one but the customer was okay with it.

Must admit I've wondered about this esecially where the public are concerned. Won't be funny if a member of public slips on our water or trips over a hose. Seems to me we're swapping one set of risks for another.

[NWH]

I walk to the furthest point with the hose,that way you can make a mental note of obsticles.

[LWC]

this is why we've got public liabilty...or should have

what are they gonna do when it rains? not go out?

That'll teach you! 

Still, giving the choice between falling off a ladder (which I've done) and having a bit of a slip; I'd choose the lower level fall anyday!

Well they're expecting it then aren't they? :

Not just a small slippery patch outside the door.

Besides, once it's rained for a few minutes the grease is washed away.
The first splashed of water just sit on the grease.

Ask a biker.
When it first starts raining it's dangerous.
If it's been raining for a while it's not so bad.

That's the point, I never hurt myself off a ladder.

There's always a first time.  We both know a local window cleaner, very experienced, whose had a few falls; the worst being when he had two broken ankles (SG), and he's done lots of other stuff too.

So my point is, you can't predict the future.

If WFP is so bad, then send the van back and go back to using ladders!

Whoever said you can't fall off the ground....  :

[jeff1]

Wait until you step back without looking and fall flat on your a**e into the pond
