Ladders. Most serious workplace accidents in a lot of trades can be linked back to falling from a hight. Don't be cocky when up a ladder, even little ones.

Ladders are legitimately one of the leading causes of death and serious injury among otherwise healthy middle aged adults. A basic fall protection system with some flex rope and a climbing harness can be had for around $100. I don't care if my neighbors think I'm a dweeb, I'm not dying for clean gutters.

RIP to this man

What happened? Was this at work or home?

At home, due to complete user error. I have a 4x4ft foldable ladder which I did not lock properly. I did see myself falling in slow motion, which feels really weird. And i dont know why this surprised me, but there's nothing you can do to save your fall, you just fall straight down like a bag of potatoes. Nothing broken, just bruises and some pain. I feel really lucky.

A friend of mine's father died falling from a ladder on her birthday while decorating for her party.

That is horrifying, I hope she's managed to recover at least a bit from that
