How odd, im currently going through this exact thing with my father at the minute, fell off ladder, brain bleed, 2 weeks in ICU, out to head injury ward yesterday.... I don't know Hutchie, but i hope he gets better, as i am certainly aware of the family's pain.

Yep same story in our family.
BIL fell from a ladder, hit head on the kitchen bench on the way down and although still with us  it changed and impacted the whole family.
So pack the ladders away

It just seems to common
Approx 6 weeks ago workmate was getting something out of the passenger side of a bogie tipper 
Fell off the step and landed on his head.
Induced coma then tried to bring him slowly out of it.
Lasted another few weeks and passed away.
So many people affected from his family, the boys on the site that were present and the whole company
It's so hard to express the feelings
RIP Baz
Sorry if this is out of line with the thread but very few things in life have affected me like this

My wife used to work in the emergency department always commented to me the number of older gentlemen falling off ladders or roofs. Not sure if its the "I'll be right" attitude, just unlucky or don't have the reflexes/speed like they used to.
Be very careful out there guys, if you're not sure if you can reach - don't. I work on ladders every day and I am super cautious of my ladder position, how slippery the ground is, will I have to reach across too far etc etc. Every now and then I'll start over reaching then suddenly stop myself and have the same conversation - "but it's only another 100mm away? Don't be lazy and move the ladder you dumb Shit."

Hi,
    Older gentlemen falling off ladders?
Good thing I'm more of an old fart than a gentleman.
Cheers
