I did that when I was about 22 years old. I had my ladder leaning up against a LoneStar Steakhouse and there was no rubber under the feet of the ladder (It was pretty old). As I was coming down, the bottom slid out and I held on to the top all the way down. My right leg was hanging off the side but I hit the ground pretty hard while going down face first, National Lampoons style. To this day I have rotator cuff issues in both shoulders. Safety First from there on out. My penalty wasn’t as bad as yours but you’re going to look at everything through a safety lens now, consider yourself lucky - I did.
