Id surmise that getting shot and living, or stabbed is as a cop, worse than a fall from a roof breaking an arm or spraining an ankle.
Do you think breaking an arm is the only injury you could get falling from a roof? How about a broken collar bone? How about spinal damage? How about being paralyzed? You'd rather have these kinds of injuries than get stabbed by a mentally ill homeless guy with a pencil?
Pretty much. Fall is a fall.
Most get up and get back to work unless its a sprain or break. I worked AS a roofer.
I spent a year as an Insurance adjuster as well, climbing roofs in August 95F. Been there, done it.
I never worried about my life, despite having 1-2 close calls on 2-3 story roofs.
I DID however worry about my life more than a few xs collecting rents.
Dealing with Felons, them knowing I had many $1000s on me, Baby mama drama collecting, late tenants, renting to drug dealers learned after the fact. Owning homes on a major drug traffic street with dealers on the corner with occasional daytime shoot outs in some of the worst neighborhoods in America... These are all job hazards I dont like. Ill take a roof wearing cougar paw shoes and safety harnesses, all day long.
