I was sure I was gonna DIE !

I just got back from rescuing a model airplane from a tree.
My young friend let it get away from him out of range of the transmitter and it zoomed into a tree. It took a 30' ladder and a long 20' king pole (fishing rod) with a wire noose on the end to get it down.As I pulled down on the pole the branch I was leaning the ladder on moved in a sudden gust of wind and caused the ladder to shift sideways. I thought I was going down.
Anyway I dropped the pole and airplane and slid down the ladders edge falling the last 10' as the ladder slid off the branch.
I got away without a scratch and the plane only had slight damage.
Next time I'm taking my Mossberg, it's not worth breaking a leg for a $100 plane!

ps did I say I am not keen on heights ?

Heh. Sounds like fun. Maybe you'll remember to take up those acrobat courses now.

[alivin]

no acrobat courses for me, but I'm glad Ive jumped out of a plane before now. Ankles & knees together, knees bent and roll.

Does PLF work fine even if your not on a parachute?....well i would assume...but..

[alivin]

It sure helps to get those knees bent and together whenever your landing from any height

I give it a 2.


You didn't 'stick' the landing.

Glad you're OK.

YOu know that I was actually there and I was the one who saved you.

Its just that I was so fast and stuff
