Be careful out there will ya! David I know exacly where your coming from. 2drops of water on the tile and whooosh,,, there you go! Scarry feeling. I've been lucky enough to have fallen far enough up the roof where I had time to grip on and have not actually fallen off. Not a good feeling! Was gonna post a pic of the one in question but guess their too big and I don't know how to reduce them. OH WELL!
 
I use it. It is quick and can do multiple pictures at a time.

Just right click on the picture and away ya go.

David,,,, WHAT the heck do ya do when you get into the link? There are 15,000 things to click on! I'm soooo confused. LOL :eek:
 
oh and I don't think its the "getting to terminal veloscity" in 2.5 seconds and flying off of the roof thats the problem, it is the SLAMMING of the back on the tiles that I think hurts.
 
I think I got it David. If so here is ONE of the roofs I halmost bought it on. If you look real close you can probably see a broken tile towards the left where I landed on my butt.

Glad to hear you are ok.

I fell from a roof once, while cleaning an exhaust fan. My wife was on that job with me. She asked if I was ready for her to start the pressure washer, I said "NO". The reason I said no was because I noticed the disconnect to the gun was not fully connected. She thought I said "GO", so she fired up the pressure washer. The gun flew off and got the STEEP metal roof wet. The kick from the line made me slip, and down to the ground I went. Along the way down, my ribs took a beating from all the ribs on the metal roof, which at the time I thought hurt like he!!. Little did I know, the sudden stop on the ground would hurt the worst.:eek:

We got the job finished, and as an added bonus, we now have an understanding of the importance of clear YES and NO responses.:)
