Yeah, a 3 or 4 foot vertical drop broke my heel in one place and ankle in two places. And I consider myself in excellent physical shape. If you land wrong, even a short drop can really mess you up. I never really appreciated that until it happened. A fall fron an ordinary household ladder left an acquaintence of mine paralyzed from the neck down.
