Lmao, Im surprised at how quickly she walked off that fall. It looked painful

Adrenaline.

I remember when I was doing some drywall patchwork for a recently widowed mother and her daughter in a lavish home in North Dallas where I was finishing up with the clean-up, I over heard the daughter (she must have been around 20-22 at the time) saying that she'd change out the a/c filter in the attic before leaving. Moments passed and as I loaded up the last of my tools ready to go, I hear this unsettling slow creaking noise 20 feet up from the ceiling. THEN BAM, I see a chunks of sheetrock, black insulation, and a body collapse down to the bridge that connects the entry staircase to their updtairs den.

I ran up to see if she was okay, but by the time I got up there she was already standing and walking around looking up at the hole she made. She said she was fine, but I called bullshit and already dialed for an ambulance. She landed her neck on the railing, but luckily there was some white, mega-padded contemporary couch thing that caught most of her body first.

<_< She had to get a neck cast for a couple of weeks... but she fully recovered.

A lot of shit happened there.
- I had to contact her mother.
- changed out her filters (three filters were almost dark gray from what it looks like months and months without replacement)
- laid out an accessible path to their ac units with plywood. (Y'all should have seen the obstacle course in that attic. 4 to 3 foot crawl space, rigid ducts ran across the little pathway. It's no wonder she fell.

This was almost 12 years ago.
