unlucky mate, what surface was the ladder on a little tip for the future if in any doubt ladder will slip put a damp scrim under the feet it works better than rubber feet or most anti slip devices and is good for any surface.
 hope you get well soon
 
oh dave one more thing i am having a small break in cornwall with the family for a week where would you recomend visiting.
Thanks
