I was building a shed to house firewood off the back of our garage. Putting shingles on the low-pitched 6’ high roof, I stood up and stepped backwards...right off the roof. I was younger and rolled when I hit the ground. No injuries. I consider myself a safe worker, and very aware of my surroundings...but it was over quick!
I’m 60, worked on roofs my whole life. no problems. Last summer I fell off my garage roof. 4/12 pitch. Just stepped wrong and down I went. It happens fast.
