BADAIR Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 This was just posted on another mb from a fellow inspector... "I had my first (and hopefully last) "incident" today. Was in the garage with the door down trying to access an attic scuttle when.... the husband returned home and hit the remote opener. I started shouting and trying to shove at the door as best I could from 10 feet up, but to no avail. Down I came. Nothing broke except my extend 'n climb. My body is pretty sore and the door railing didn't fair to well either. The ladder scraped their family van on my way down. I don't know if I'll recieve a repair bill from the family. I know I'm going to feel it in the morning as sore as I am tonight." I suggest unplugging the opener if this is ever encountered...the emergency rope didn't/wouldn't disengage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Moore Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm glad you're OK (mostly) but it doesn't sound like a profitable day. Is the ladder toast? How did the husband react at the time? I suggest unplugging the opener if this is ever encountered...the emergency rope didn't/wouldn't disengage. Good advice. I will remember your story the next time I encounter the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, then . . . That's hysterical. I can just see the poor inspector up there on his pretend ladder, kicking and screaming at the garage door as it moved inexerably toward him. "Back! Back! You fiend!" shove, shove, push, push, Aieeeeeee! Thump. Too funny. - Jim in Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably destroyed the bra, which is too bad considering what those things cost. - Jim in Oregon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
