"YOU EVER HAD TO BACKTRACK AND GET THE GUY THAT FELL OFF THE RIG"
Recently in LA we had the first female firefighter die. It was all over the news. People were donating money and going on and on about her being a hero and such. Turns out she was a probie for two weeks and died when falling off the back of the truck when it pulled forward from a stop.
I dont mean to sound cold hearted, but isnt there a Darwin award for that?

Yeah, Matt you are cold-hearted. :D Sad story though. It happens.
Sounds like she was up on top of the hose bay.

BTW, I am coming out to CA next week, supposed to run with a few of the SCOPE folks down the Hydroplane races in Mission Bay.
