Could have been much worst felt like it was in slow motion was more worried about hitting the concrete. The steps were really good quality alloy ones unfortunately still heavy when they fall on you. Will be using scaffolding a lot more from now on. I think the weight of the steps counter balanced and helped lower slowly legs went between the rungs and possibly dislocated my knee because when I got up it was sticking out the side when I put some weight on it it popped back in 👍🏻 Then I cut a piece of wood to make a crutch and get to the mobile phone.

Your the man

Hope it settles down soon

At least it should get better rather than back or head damage
