Well so,
Broken radius & 5 ribs, sprained wrist and shoulder. Nasty bruises on face.
Won't be going back up there for a while #-o.

Or Anemometer standing, installer laying :)

:evil: now for the important stuff:
I hope your spouse gave you hell for this. If she didn't , she needs to. You could have been killed. I have never figured out the wisdom of putting it up on the roof. We live on the ground or near it, that is where the wind is. At least mount a mast to the side of the house like a pole or one of those HAM towers, at I bet it is cheaper than falling and nearly screwing yourself over. :twisted:
I recall in Karate class I fell and fractured my ulna at the elbow and had a 10 week cast on. then there was the time the wife and I were bicycling and she said she was going to stop. She did immediately and I, to avoid hitting her, went over the handle bars and fractured a couple of ribs. Then of course the great time I was out with an electrician putting up motion detector lights and I was showing him where I wanted them, walking in the wet grass going down a hill wearing moccasins, thinking that this was not a good idea and I reached for the fence, and fell backward hyper flexing my right knee. So after complaining about it for a month, the wife forces me to go to the doctor, who finds a hairline fracture of the femur near the knee.
So I do know all that hurts and I am so pleased that you will have someone holding the ladder next time you climb up in Weather Heaven. Geez... but it does look nice, don't it.?
