Jobs Death Due To Fall !

[lafinfil]

The number of fatal on-the-job falls in 2007 rose to a series high of 835—a 39 percent increase since 1992
when the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries program was first conducted.

The increase for falls overall in 2007 was driven primarily by increases in falls on same level
(up 21 percent from 2006) and falls from nonmoving vehicles (up 17 percent).

Falls from roofs, however, were down 13 percent from the number in 2006.

Fall begins Monday, Sept. 22 at 3:44 p.m. Let's be careful out there.

Had a tennis coach in high school who, when giving advice would often say, "Don't make love on a rooftop."

Not near the edge, anyway.

(Lots of New Yorkers who wouldn't exist if that advice were followed on a widespread basis.)

I update my obituary every day before I go to work, just in case of this.

I died from a fall about 8 years ago. Of course I got better. Flatlined at least three times. Watch yer step !

Well , , , , don't think I wanna go there. Sounds fairly risqué for high school. At least during MY high school . . . . (and NO, you don't wanna go there!!!!)

Heck, am I the only one who thought the Leader had died in a fall? Scared me!
