MetroTech guy collapsed on the roof

[trouble time]

Isn't that the truth. When the Poop hits the fan the rooftop is usaly pretty empty.It is scary to think something going bad up thier all alone. Glad this guy had someone watching over him.

Years ago, I fell off a roof. I was on the upper roof and slipped on a ship's ladder and ended up on the lower roof. I landed in a foot or more of snow on my back. I could not move or feel my legs. It was cold about -25c. I lay on the roof for about 1/2 hour or more. until I could wiggle my toes. Then I made the decision to move. I was able to get inside and sit for a longer period of time. I was lucky. could have been far worse. Pinched nerve. The building I was in changed their roof access policy after that. You now have to sign in to the security and check in every half hour, or they come looking for you. At least something good came of it.

well I am only an HVAC/R Doctor so I am only geussing hear but im going with a diabetic eposiode that caused him to faint and fall over. I have worked with older guys 60's and by the time they crawl up the extension ladder and drag thier tools to the rooftop they need to sit down for 5 min to catch thier breath. Maybe he added more tools to his bag and it was just to much? These are all just me thorwing rocks in the dark all i can say is I hope he makes a speedy recovery and everything is OK!!!

I'm hitting 60 and I can outwork most men half my age.

It's called working smarter not harder.

case in point a company i worked for very recently (thank god i dont anymore, a BIG company) they were really strict on the lock out and tag out.


safe HAH no chain on the front of the cage, no harness either.
so i try to find the breaker, well its shared with other office crap that can't go down, so they tell me to put some tape over the light switch and "get er done"

1 week later they fired me.

I ass u me that they were not stupid enough to tell you, that they fired you for that incident?

I'm going on 58 and I would never have believed I'd be able to do what I do today years ago.
Like you say I work smarter- keep a pace, take a break, hydrate, and never sit down.....or I'll fall asleep. LOL.
