[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 81925, member: 123"] Have taken a few small falls over the years, but the one that sticks real well in the memory happened around '82 or '83. I was stationed aboard a floating drydock where our mission was to dock the type of ship of that sinks on purpose (subs). I was in the botom of the dock basin walkiing the keel blocks checking for any nails that were left after removing the soft wood caps, and as I was near the last block someone from up on the wing wall (45' above me) hollered for me, I looked up, kept walking, and walked off the block. The fall was around 8', and I luckily landed on my feet on the steel deck. It stunned me and knocked the wind out of me. I was real lucky I didn't land on any of the structural pieces running across the deck, possibly snapping an ankle or something. That incident has stayed with me all these years. I do have a funny story about my friend in high school. It deals with a metal barn roof, a 5 gallon bucket of silver paint, and one lone nail, lol. [/QUOTE]
