Last night we had a guy working on a platform above a ceiling. He went to get off the platform onto the the lift and missed his step. He ended up falling 35 feet onto concrete. Some how he is alive. He broke both his heels, arm/elbow, hips, tail bone, and his back in more than one place. Docters said it's about 50/50 right now as far as being paralyzed. The guy is only 22 years old. Just a grim reminder to wear safety gear. if he was just harnessed to something. The other guys working said it happened in the blink of an eye, and there was nothing they could do to grab him. Just remember to take the extra step of caution, be it a pain in the butt or not.
