I’m guessing it wasn’t free-fall, but a miracle nonetheless!

I read about this accident the day after it happened(in the local paper). Witnesses said he laid on top of the scaffolding and rode it down like a surfboard. The board took a lot of the shock. It's a miracle that he lived. His brother was thrown free and died on impact.

Thanks for the confirmation! A "little" thing like this clearly can make all the difference.

Had a guy on top of a 40 story building under construction get blown off because he was holding on to a 4x8 sheet of plywood and a gust came. He held onto to the board and was blown back in 3 story's below.

The guy held the board so tight his fingernails were embedded in the wood and were ripped out of his hand.

He never came back to work again.
