the tumbleing fridge

2011 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

My father has been in construction/remodeling for a very very long time.At least 30 years now.Well he has done alot of dumb things over the years...but this one is the dumbest one and I'll never know how he lived after it.He was working at a house on a very steep hill.so steep it was more like a mini mountian.the job required him to remove large furniture from the house to include the removal of a fridge.He wanted to save money by not hireing some help.So he straps this fridge ,which happens to be very large, to his back with duct tape and walks it out of the house.He forgot to do something,he parked the truck 20 feet from the house,meaning it was downhill too!It had been raining for close to two days before he decieded to attempt this.So as he stepped outside he slipped and tumbled.Literally head over feet down the mini moutian with the fridge strapped to him.he was stopped at the bottom of this mini moutian by the lake at the bottom.Unfortunatly, he landed face down with the fridge making sure he wasn't getting up.Somehow,he managed to roll to the side and save himself.Walk the fridge back up the hill.Put it in the truck and take it with him to the hospital because he decieded to drive there.To save money of course.His shoulder was smashed...most of his ribs were too.Of course other various bones were broke too,he also managed to destroy a good number of organs.I don't know what is the scariest part of this story...the fact that he lived through that...or the fact that he has eight kids and I'm one of them
