He certainly doesn't have far to fall with all that now under him. I was doing the same thing once while I was home on leave, helping my dad clear snow off the roof on the back part of his house. It was an addition he put on himself but he only had a 3 degree slope on it. So he and I went out there to shovel it off and I slipped on some accumulated ice and fell. Oh, did I mention that it was the 2nd floor roof? Fortunately there was plenty of snow below me and I wasn't hurt. It happened so fast that I didn't even realize it until I hit the snowbank. I looked up to see my dad leaning over the edge saying, "Well, you gonna lay there all day or come up and help me finish." He's not the sympathetic sort.
