1 week in hospital, months of recovery, oh boy this was one DUMB mistake on my part.
If you would have had a government issued ladder license that never would have happened because your training was so good accidents are eliminated. OR you would have been prohibited from operating the ladder because you weren't properly licensed.
I hope you are recovering well, sounds like a nasty fall.
