Now give that man a Darwin award.
A friend in college climbed to the seventh floor and knocked on his brother’s window.
But of course they were all brain dead. Go M.U.
As someone who’s done a fair amount of climbing and had several falls, you don’t have to fall very far to suffer serious injury. A 10’ fall onto your head is plenty to kill you from head trauma or a broken neck.
In fact, my uncle died 40 years from about a 10’ fall off a scaffold onto his head.
OTOH, a friend of mine was helping move a sheet of plywood on a fourth-story roof and backed off the edge. Landed on his feet. Broke a bunch of bones but eventually (mostly) recovered.
Gravity sucks.
Your poster can’t spell.
Who could have seen that coming
