Trouble is you have to get up a ladder to get to them and for me I ain't do high level guttering off a ladder. 

 
Its defo the hitting the ground that does the damage around 13 years ago I broke my wrist snapped my spine in 2 places and crushed one of my vertebrae  by 70% from a 6-7 foot fall.

sounds nasty m8 do u still have pain in your spine? how do u get around working wfp with a crush vertebrae ? the old boy i work with has one and he goes giddy when it plays up

 
They chipped a piece of bone off my hip and wedged it in then the bone regrows around it and I have two pins and screws in my spine, I don't suffer with any aches and pains just various nervous stuff legs and fingers going numb. But overall I manage fine with wfp been truck mount my back used to go off when I used a trolley lugging containers about.

 
sounds like you were lucky, high level ladder work is risky i have thault about using a harness verchall  life line on my triple defo some thing i may do alltho i hardly use it these days as i have gutter vac and wfp for most jobs only time i use is realy is to unblock hoppers  , but im toying with a ider of a pressure washer with a lance that curved so u can blast the **** down the pipe

I was really lucky could have spent the rest of my life in a wheelchair.

Admittedly it was my own fault for not be cautious enough, But it only takes one simple mistake. My wife would call me at work 2-3 times a day until I switched to WFP over 9 years ago.

I fell from about 7 foot up and fractured my cocyx (tailbone vertabrae) and couldn't walk properly for a month.. could easily have been worse

The trouble is we all get complacent when on ladders all day everyday
