Stupid really.
Cleaning a standard new build with a porch. Ladder m8 upto gutter line and poled the window above slanted porch.
For some reason I got too high and put a foot onto the tiled roof,I slipped, my heel kicked back and the ladders went crashing down.
I held onto the rendering on the edge of house; where it jutted out at an angle. Any other building and I'd have fallen, but this peculiar shaped edge saved me.
I've had to jump down onto the side of the house and landed just about fine.
I also broke a tile which I'm getting fized, and had brand new boots on which added to the slipping effect.
Felt like a total tool..and yesterday I reversed into a grit box and broke a rear light lens!!
Great start to 2017
