A tale of a battery drill and a stepladder

Yesterday I did something really REALLY stoopid. I was up working on a 12' stepladder drilling some holes in a metal panel. I dropped the screws I had on the ladder so I put the drill down...on it's side...and climbed down....

Moved the ladder.....

BAMMO...Bounce I get Mike Tysoned. Feel like a freekin pile driver. 18 volt Milwaukee hammer drill hits me like a cement block. Goose egg, small cut/scrape. Looked like a CONEHEAD for the day.

5 minutes later I realized how truly LUCKY I was. There was a #21 drill bit in the chuck... and it missed me. If that thing went the right way I'd be lying either on a hospital bed or a morticians table right now with a drill bit and approx 8 lb battery drill hanging out of my head and a drill bit in my brain.

Go ahead laugh but remember this is the GOF forum My stoooooopidity. Don't do what I did and next time you know I will ALWAYS use the holes in the top of the ladder like I usually do.
