I can relate. About 30 years ago I had to go up on a roof to cover a chimney. Unfortunately, I had to take an extension ladder to get on the back deck, pull the ladder up to get on the shed roof sunroom, then pull the ladder up to get on the roof of the house.
This house was a drive under, so it was very tall.
It all went according to plan, until it didn’t. As I was transitioning off the roof of the house to the ladder to get to the sunroom, the ladder slipped and twisted. I fell off and landed between two skylights. My knee or hip, broke the OSB underneath the shingles.
I lay there for a minute or two, but being in the middle of the summer, The roof was scorching hot and I had to get up. Fortunately the latter didn’t slide off. I used the ladder to get down on the deck and from there down to the ground.
I was by myself and shaken up pretty good.🤪
