Well I finally did it
52 years I've been riding in boats and I never fell out once. But today I didn't have my PFD on and I fell out on the cement made a good step getting out but my foot didn't turn and out I went. I was installing new graph and trolling motor
I got it all done but it just took a tad longer after my fall.

Hope you're OK! My balance seems to be about 1/2 of what it was not long ago!
Re: Well I finally did it
Most falls out of a boat onto concrete are going to result in injuries so you got lucky. How are you feeling today? Can you even get out of bed?

Re: Well I finally did it
When you're in your 20's and this happens you pick yourself up unscathed and laugh .
Later in your 30's you get off the ground and usually the only thing hurt is your pride .
Next in your 40's it takes a minute laying on the ground to assess if you're actually injured or not and when you get up you're greeted with aches and pains .
Later yet 50's + ............ (it only gets worse from here )

Re: Well I finally did it
MT that was me but I went out facing the front of the boat and I didn't get up for 3 or 4 minutes when I open my eyes I got a good look at the bottom of my boat it looks pretty good no dings. I had to get help to get up and I'm still in pretty good shape but that cement is really hard. I have the house painted inside and new flooring installed the guys saw me fall out and rush too help me I think they were worried if something happen to me they might not get payed. LOL

I had just waxed it and I was sweating so I had a lot of factors working against me.
