Medical problems seem to come in groups into our ER. One week we had a slew of heart attacks, the next, a bunch of necrotizing soft tissue infections. This week, I guess tis the season, as the most recent slew of problems have been people falling through the floorboards in their attics.
Three, count 'em, three people who were spring cleaning their attics fell more than 10 feet onto their second floor. (Man, I wish I had a gif of Clark Griswold doing that in Christmas Vacation.) This sounds like something that would be hilarious in a movie, with a foot sticking through the floorboards, the guy eventually crashing down with boards falling down too, only to have the actor cough a little, dust himself, and get up, amazed at what happened. Unfortunately, it didn't happen that way at all for any of these people. They suffered head injuries, loss of consciousness, collapsed lungs, internal bleeding, broken ankles, broken legs, dislocated shoulders, and even a finger amputation.
Attics- the new danger of the suburb.
