Do You Always Tie Off Your Ladder?

[ldapkus]

It was windy and I think, maybe, I should have tied off today.

Chicago= Windy City......... It doesn't look like too far of a jump.

That's what you get for using a cheap aluminum.
Nice gutter granules by the way.

I was on the roof with the client who is a fireman. The fire station was 3 doors down the street. He called his buddies to rescue us. They brought cameras.

Same thing happened to me and a friend when I was 10 years old and playing around a house under construction. We sat there until it was almost dark and then jumped. I figured out a way to lessen the vertical drop by getting a running start and landing on a hill about 10 feet from the edge. It still hurt. No, I did not put the ladder up for my friend, he is the one who let the ladder fall and since I had to jump, he did too.
