A fellow ended up with a fractured foot after falling through his decayed garden deck while hanging laundry.
Scott Eaves, aged 48, from Penrhyndeudraeth, Wales, experienced a nosebleed and ended up with a swollen lip. He had to stay in the hospital for eight hours following the incident.
While taking advantage of the nice weather, the 48-year-old had hung up their laundry to dry wearing only slippers and a robe when this amusing scene was captured on film.
Even though he managed to get up with no apparent problems, he discovered later that he had fractured his right foot.
Even though he can joke about it now, Scott admitted that he feels a little 'concerned' when he hangs out the laundry.
Presently without medical employment, Mr Eaves stated: "This business of hanging laundry outside can be risky—I might require a helmet just for drying clothes from now on."
'When I place it there, you'll notice some stairs leading upwards, and there was also some decayed decking that I wasn't aware of.'
I have no strength in my right leg due to problems with my back.
'And suddenly it gave out, so I plunged through and ended up head-butting my face against the steps, which resulted in breaking my right foot.'
'I managed to find some humor in it later on, but at the time, it was causing too much pain.'
'I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the decking, but I'm more worried about hanging washing out - I don't fancy going out there at the moment.'
Following the incident, he went to the hospital post-fall from an accident that occurred on Thursday, April 10. He learned there that his foot was fractured.
He stated: "I went to the hospital and stayed for eight hours."
I got an X-ray, but since I couldn't stay seated due to my back pain, I had to leave before getting the results.
'on my way back home, the hospital informed me it was fractured, thus i will return tomorrow for the cast to be put on.'
As far as I'm aware, my nose wasn't fractured, however, I experienced a severe nosebleed along with a swollen lip.
This isn't the first instance where CCTV has captured funny moments that perhaps some of us would have preferred remain hidden.
In last year’s incident, Laura Staunton's Ring doorbell recorded the instance when some workers toppled over following a failed tug-of-war with a manhole cover. This amusing event was documented via a surveillance camera installed at another mother’s front door.
The mother-of-three said the bizarre video made her 'burst out laughing' at work after she received the notification on her phone.
The clip starts with one man perched inside the drain whilst the remaining five position themselves in a row, gripping the rope as though they're about to engage in a game of tug-of-war.
The clip starts with one man perched inside the drain while the remaining five position themselves in a row, gripping the rope in preparation for a tug-of-war.
But after they begin pulling too early, the man in the drain appears to shout, 'Wait a minute, will you wait? - for flip sake the pair of ya'.
Next comes a 'one, two, three' countdown, followed by the men starting to push with all their might.
It seems like the person inside the drain is using their foot to kick an object down the drain as someone pulls from outside.
It remains unclear what the men attempted to extract from the drain, as whatever it was, it would not budge.
Following seven seconds of tugging on the rope, it broke from the strain and the men landed in a tangled pile.
One man was sent flying backward due to the abrupt force and ended up plunging headfirst into an evergreen shrub.
A metallic rod, apparently employed to assist with gripping the rope, almost struck another man’s head as he tumbled onto the ground.
Following a brief moment where the workers looked at one another in shock, the individual on the ground remarked, "I believed that was about to hit me right in the face."
The clumsy employees subsequently appear to find humor in their mishap and start laughing boisterously.
Following the viewing of the video, Ms Staunton, who works in logistics, commented: "I was preoccupied with my tasks and initially dismissed the notifications. However, as it persisted in making noise, I decided to check it out."
I erupted with laughter and shared it with my boss. Later, when I returned home and spotted the second fellow almost tumbling into the bushes, I couldn't help but laugh again.
Everyone found it amusing and fortunately, nobody got injured.
They had replaced the gravel, so without the doorbell footage, I wouldn’t have known anyone was there at all.
'I wish I had communicated with them via the Ring.'
Later when they passed by again, they were still chuckling.
