I have had a few people ask me about my dad's accident, so I will tell you what we know. My dad is a general contractor and was at a vacant car dealership looking at a roof for a bid. He was either about to get on the ladder from the roof, or at the top of the ladder when somehow the ladder slipped and he fell with it. It is estimated that he fell around 15 feet. He fell on the right side of his face and head. Most of his major injuries are on his right side. The miracle in all of this is that the owner of the building just "happened" to arrive at the building right before my dad fell. He pulled up and saw my dad up on the roof. Then he pulled around to the other side of the building, went inside, looked out the window and noticed the ladder was gone. He looked again and saw my dad on the ground. He got to him within a minute or two of the fall and immediately called 911. Luckily, the accident occurred within a mile of the hospital and the paramedics were there within 5 minutes. With serious head injuries, it is so crucial to respond quickly. My dad fell on the side of a vacant building, and normally there is not anyone there. If the owner hadn't visited just when he did, it could have been hours before my dad was found and he probably would not have survived.
