ive had a few dodgy ones up ladders with either being hungover or just plain fuckin lazy, i dont tend to think much about health and safety, i learned my trade in the late eighties and early nineties before all this h&s stuff went mental, for instance i never wore steel toe caps onna site or a hardhat and the only guys with hi viz on were architects and owners. i never had any serious hits but i slid down aroof on my arse and picked up too much speed to stop for the scaffolding, actually had to launch myself off and land onna couple of ton of sand, absolute fluke!! it was only 1 story up but it felt a helluva lot more at the time lol, i was only 17 at the time and gloriously stupid(not much changed apart from the age mind you). heights only bother me for the first half hour workin and then it just fades into the background and as the day goes on i get more adventurous/retarded. guy i know fell 30 feet off a roof and landed flat on his feet, still standing. totally fucked him up, crushed all his organs together by pushin his pelvis up and fuckin compound fractures of his hips, he survived and eventually went back to work but was never the same again.
