As harsh as it may sound, let us learn from this mistake and stay safe, use the proper equipment and expertise for the job. It's not worth your life or quality of life to save a few bucks.
It is not harsh, it is life. We are surrounded by lessons learned that were paid for by others, sometime paid dearly.
The other reminder from this episode is not to perform risky tasks, even such as cleaning rain gutters, when no one else is home.
I wish the man a speedy recovery.
