I fell off the roof of my house a few years go (1 floor up), landed on my head and left shoulder on asphalt. Knocked me whacko for a few minutes. Lady driving by saw me actually fall.

Still don't remember too much about that though. Everything check out OK. Next day, I expected to really feel the pain. But nope! Nothing! Never did!

I stepped off the roof onto an extension ladder. Ladder slipped out on the asphalt driveway. I started falling backwards, rolled to my side to avoid hitting my head on the pavement. Landed on the side rail of the ladder and fractured my pelvis in 3 places.
Maybe hitting my head would have been better because a fractured pelvis is no fun.
