A bit of drama in the neighborhood today. The guy next door rented a power lawn aerator on Saturday to do his lawn. When they came to pick it up today, the guy from the rental place drove it up the ramps into the back of the truck before trying to walk back down the ramps.
About half way down, he slipped and fell straight on his *** on the ramp boards breaking them before slamming to the ground and hitting his head on the rear bumper. He was laying on the ground bleeding from a gash in the side of his head with an injured back and 2 broken wrists.
We ran out and did trauma first aid while the neighbor’s wife called 911.
Ambulance took him away and we got a report later that he also had 2 broken ribs and a bruised spleen. Rough day at work for him for sure. I’m just glad it wasn’t worse.
