Yard work accident

Spent the day working in the front yard, had the three boys working with me. The boys raked up all the old leaves and junk out of the garden, while I used the pressure washer on the house and walkways. Then I decided to trim all the bushes in the front and that large bush on the side of the driveway, when I got to that one I used the multi-folding ladder as a step ladder and climbed up and cut the side and top close to the driveway then I moved it to get the next area, climbed up and the dam thing folded out from under me. What a fun time that was, I had a running hedge trimmer in one hand and was falling backwards towards the driveway, thinking this is going to hurt and trying to control the trimmer.   After a short fall I landed on my butt/back and I think the boys were quite scared, I told them I was fine and got up and went inside to get a drink.  Then went back out and finished the yard at a bit slower pace. Now that I’ve stopped things are hurting a bit more but I’m on ice and will be fine, it could have been a lot worse.
