Had my first fall off the flatbed deck tonight.

    Was working on unstrapping a load and stepped on my bar on the edge of the deck. As soon as I lost my left foot off the edge I knew I was going down backwards. I somehow pulled off a perfect backwards roll with no injuries, but I don't want to test my acrobatics like that again. No more storing my bar along the edge of the trailer.

    There you go. Look around to see if anyone saw it, then get back up and finish. ;)

    I did the same thing only with a piece of dunnage, I fell back and hit the deck first then rolled off and hit the ground. Nocked the wind out of me but was ok otherwise.

    When I got up I yelled and laughed because it turned out much better than expected.

    Dad bought a brand new truck back when I was 16. I was walking down the frame while we were rigging it up and I slipped and fell between the frame and inside tire. Not fun.

    I kind of wish I had video because I have no idea how I didn't crack my skull.

    You should set up your camera on the deck just in case it happens again. lol

    Could also be used for training purposes for the YouTube crowd
