TOPIC: Would you walk this roof??

Every time I hear these stories I rack by brain trying to come up with the perfect device to prevent guys from falling off a roof. Unfortunately most of the ideas I come up with only work part of the house. There has to be a solution though. Maybe if I can get these anti-gravity boots to work....

Jay, I'd definitely go look at what kind of surgery you can get on your legs. Technology keeps getting better and I know quite a few people who've at least had surgery on their knees. Sounds like you had quite a bit more damage though.

I would not have walked on that, if it was safe to put my ladder up I would have gone to the eaves.

Dom - I have spoken with the doctor about it and he says that I would probably be out of action for 2-3 weeks, perhaps more.  I can't afford that much time off.  My wife is ill and I have to take care of her and our daughter.

I am between a knee and a hard place!

Oh, and I agree with Joe and Eragorn!
