that I'll never do again
We didn't run any calls other then do a standby at a local place that is very muddy, and very dusty. No problem, we get back to the base, nothing going on we decided to wash the rig up since nobody has washed it lately it seems.
Well we have the mod so of course, everything was stuck on the rig.
Well stupid ole me thinks to myself hmmm, I'm betting that nobody has ever washed the top of the rig (top of the box). We look for a ladder and of course can't find one. I say forget it, I'll just monkey my way up there from the front of the rig. No problems. Get up there and of course, its dusty, dirty, gross and yeah. So I'm spraying up there, and crawling around as I'm cleaning and must have hit where I spilled some soap.
Slid right off the truck and right on my front and side. Knocked the wind out of me pretty good and cut a few cuts. Let me tell ya, thats a lot higher drop then you think though. Shift was over almost and waited till relief got in there and got dragged to the hospital to get checked out. No broken bones or any of the fun stuff but got called dummy (other word was used) a lot :blush:
So todays lesson is, don't climb on top of the box of a mod to wash it.
Gotta admit though, I never thought that would or could happen
But I'll bet I wasn't the first one
