My dad fell off a ladder the other day while chainsawing, and luckily he's pretty much okay healthwise (I won't even go into why a guy in his sixties is chainsawing on a 15 foot ladder).
Anyway, today, while sitting in a doctor's office waiting room, I read a short article about the increasing frequency of ladder-related injuries.
Emergency room visits due to ladder falls are up 50% since 1990. In short, people are falling off ladders...a lot.
I find this very curious. Are peoples' basic balance and motor skills getting worse? Are people climbing on ladders while under the influence? Or are they just chainsawing carelessly?
