A 70-year-old repairman fell from the roof of a house he was fixing and suffered serious injuries.

 

The incident took place in the Bang Phra subdistrict of Sri Racha on Thursday, July 21st. A repairman named Suphap Jalearnpon, 70, fell from the roof of Lek Sealoa’s house and broke his skull and back. He was rushed to Laem Chabang Hospital for emergency care by Sri Racha rescue workers.

 

According to Lek, the roof was about two meters high. She said that she felt confused because the victim tried to climb down the stairs that nobody was stabilizing even though she had already told him to alert her once he wanted to get down.

Well unfortunately these type of accidents are pretty common although unfortunately for him he has suffered serious injury. Those Brits amongst us will remember the same thing happened to Rod Hull the ventriloquist but he died from the fall.

His Emu survived but retired from showbusiness. (Actually I don't think he was a ventriloquist as the Emu did not 'talk', just whispered in his ear). Had sore sides once when he was on Parkinson.

Think people seem to be missing the fact that a 70 year old man was still having to work as a repairman on a roof rather than relax with his pension in old age

UK government already has plans to move the state pension to 70 years old (from the current 67). Thailand is just leading the world for a change.

2 metres is too high when you reach an age when you stopped bouncing.

I am 81, living in Thailand, and the UK State Pension I get, still at its starting level 16 years ago, makes me glad I still have a sense of humour and other sources of income.

Well spoken.

https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/money-legal/pensions/state-pension/changes-to-state-pension-age/#:~:text=In November 2018%2C State Pension,65 for men and women.

 

"State Pension age is gradually increasing for men and women, and will reach 67 by 2028.

State Pension age is going to be kept under review, which means that it could change again in the future, depending on different factors, such as changes in life expectancy."

A misleading report. I deduce that the man was working on an internal ceiling from atop an unsupported ladder and fell hence his position seen in the OP photo. Whatever, he's  injured and I hope he recovers.

mine is frozen by the heartless UK Gov.  I do all my own DIY jobs rather than let Thai 'craftsmen' near.
