As most of you have heard by now of the passing of Ted Watson from a roof fall. It should be noted this wasn't his first fall as he cracked a few ribs just a few months back
If we learned anything from his death its we should harness up when going up on any roof. Any fall can cause serious injury or death. I believe he would be alive today if he had a harness on. At a minimum his chances would have improved greatly
We've all done it- weather out of laziness or ego- whatever the reason i don''t want to read another post about a guy falling off a roof. I don't want to send condolences to another guys family for falling off a roof
Many guys i've spoken too regarding Teds death have acknowledged not using a safety harness when going up on a roof. Its like a cop without a vest going to a shootout or a Firefighter going to a fire without a respirator. Its a numbers game- sooner or later your going to fall
So i ask all of you who walk roofs to wear a safety harness- Lets learn something from the tragedy of Teds Death
