I may have screwed up ....more than once

One even better, working on my deck, joist 16” on center, I snagged my shoe on a nail and I lost my balance and fell through the joist. Now I’m a ‘big’ guy how I got through is beyond me. Deck was about 5’ off the ground. Must have knocked me out because all I remember was laying on the ground in pain trying not to move to much till I could tell if anything was broke. Ended up with 3 broken ribs, a bruised kidney, numerous scrapes and a very sore back. Took 8 weeks to get over that, oh and that deck still ain’t finished and that was ten years ago.


LOL...sounds like the deck won that one!!
