I’ve posted a few booboos by the wife over the years so I owe her this one.
Built a nice fence to keep the pugs from escaping the garage, really works great 😊

Today I was hopping back and forth over it as I installed 3PH on the Kubota. Well, I’m not a spring chicken anymore and this was the result.


Thank goodness the tractor wasn’t hurt 😅

Glad you and your tractor are alright. My wife tried that once and ended up with a broken shoulder

Geez - glad you’re okay!

That’s the kind of thing that can cause serious harm.

I did a face plant at our daughter’s place in California in July.

Thankfully just got a face-full of macaroni salad and little more. Didn’t even spill my dinner plate but for my facial imprint…..🥺😉

So what we have learned here, is that you can't jump much higher than a Pug 😉
Glad it was just an ego bruiser. Nice tuck n roll!

Yes, nice roll. Then quickly recovered and went back over it! Where your back was on the edge of the concrete you'll probably have some soreness. Thankfully that's all!

Good to see that both you and the tractor are ok. You got to see how Pugs see the world as you were rolling around on the ground! :ROFLMAO:

Glad you bounced back up pretty good.

You might consider a new safety protocol, no stepping over the pug fence.
Make it two layers high to help avoid the temptation?

Had a coach say you need to fall well, roll well, and bounce back up well.
Looks like you did all three. Glad you weren't hurt.

Glad you are ok! You got back off the ground pretty quick! You would laugh pretty hard watching me trying to get back up!

I tried to jump over a 1' fence and broke my ankle. That was over 50 years ago, and I still have problems with it. Fell off a ladder 40 years ago and injured my hip, and got it replaced last January. Falls seem to cause permanent injury, so it is best to avoid anything that may cause you to fall. As long as you didn't hit your head you should be OK. People who fall and hit their head may have a small brain bleed that can kill or permanently cause brain damage. The biggest problem is that it isn't diagnosed early enough to help them because they just pass it off and don't go to the hospital.
