Never climb with items in your hands !
“These tools are small, they won’t hurt anything!” “Wrong”, never have anything in your hands, you need them!
What goes up, must come down! But not forward! So Turn around & maintain 3 points of contact.
Never Jump off any machine !
You might think that the distance won’t hurt you !Think about the impact to your feetAnkles KneesBackHipsNeckAnd then there is something like
