Fell Off M'ladder...

[TobySampson]

Was cleaning inside of a gym at a school with varnished wooden floor. I was using my ladder stablizers but I must of had it at too much of an angle. Ladder when from underneath me and I landed funny on my ankle, swollen and killing. Gotta be more careful...

Thats true, but week is better than anything longer. Just take it easy and dont rush it

Glad it wasn't worse mate at least. Hope ya back working soon as well.

Cheers boys...

Probably should put this in a new topic but due to falling off and thinking about how stuffed I'd be if I couldn't work I should get insurance of some sort. I have public liabibity but nothing to cover me. What cover do you lot have?

Ouch! The highest I've fell is off an A frame and the back of my head missed the corner of a brick wall. Fell down the last few rungs a few times, in fact most days lol.

Lot of people don't bother to cover themselves as at times its not worth it.

If you had a major fall and really hurt yourself or worse, some of things the insurance company would look at is, type of ladder, any safety devices used, training, inspection records etc. Before they would pay anything out.

Luckily no one was around to see me so wasn't embarrassed just shaken

Mate it might be worth looking at using a Harris pole eater than a ladder.
