The following letter is addressed to a roofer, an insurance company and describes the consequences of an ill-considered action:
"In response to your request for additional information, I would like to tell you this: If question 3 of the accident report I".. Unplanned action "as the cause of my accident given you asked me to describe this in more detail what I want to do that here I am by profession roofer. On the day of the accident I was working alone on the roof of a six-story new building. When I finished my work, I had about 250kg brick left over. Since I did not want to wear down the stairs, I decided to give it in a barrel on the outside of the building down permit, which was attached to a rope that ran over a pulley. I tied so the rope down on the earth, went on the roof and loaded the bin. Then I went back down and tied the rope going on. I held it to the 250kg bricks slowly.

Fortunately, I retained my presence of mind and kept me determined in spite of the pain with all the force on the rope. However, the barrel hit around the same time jumped down on the floor on the ground and out of the barrel. Without the weight of the bricks, the barrel now weighed about 25kg. I refer to this location back to my question 11 specified body weight of 75kg. As you can imagine, I began a rapid descent. At the height of the third floor, I met again for the coming of the bottom barrel. This resulted in two broken ankles and abrasions on my legs and my abdomen. The collision with the buoy delayed my case, so that my injuries from falling down on the pile of bricks is low and that why I have only three vertebrae. I regret, however, to inform you that I, as I was there on the pile of bricks and the empty barrel six stories above me saw, once again lost my presence of mind, I let go of the rope ... "
