Christmas doesn’t look very merry this year for a man who painfully fell off a ladder while putting up Christmas decorations at his New York home.
A man was putting up holiday decorations in the backyard of his Chatham home Sunday afternoon when he had an unfortunate accident with the usually useful equipment that was propped up on the deck.
And their exterior security cameras captured his intense plummet to the ground.
While working on the upper steps, you can see the ladder begin to slide backwards on the platform boards below.
But in a matter of a second, it slid completely out from under him, causing him, along with a green cable and other loose supplies, to crash deep into the ground.
He landed on his feet for a brief moment before immediately falling to the deck floor on his back, where he is then captured rolling in pain.
Not even a minute later, he is seen quickly getting up and limping from the deck onto the grass of the spacious backyard, apparently trying to ease the pain.
Stephanie Behrens, the man’s wife, told Storyful that her husband was miraculously uninjured in the fall and is happy to share the footage “now that he’s confirmed to be okay.”
