Not much of a fall, but exploring an abandoned farmhouse with half the room missing, trying to make my way across the floor, I suddenly hit a spongy spot. I tried to back-track and follow the floor joists, but my other foot started to give. In a bit of a panic, I put my other foot down (it was that or go face-first into who-knows-what and animal shit) and immediately sank to my knees. Lucky for me, it was first floor and no basement. Hurt like hell though.

Went into this one building in KC that is quickly deteriorating and each time I go in I notice the floors getting worse and worse. During one of the meet-ups here we had about ten people inside this building and on the third level I saw a fellow explorer put his foot straight through the floor.

I was in a really soft floor factory, which was stupid of me because over 70 percent of the floor was gone. I climbed up a staircase and stepped off to promptly fall up to my chest through the second floor. I was saved by a 4 inch iron pipe to the crotch. There was no floor below that pipe, so if it hadn't been there I'd have fallen 2 stories.

I watched a guy go through a floor about 18 times in a row trying to walk across a room in an old school- no basement though, so he only went in up to his knees. It was like trudging through deep snow, except it was a wood floor.

Myself, I tend to stay off of floors that aren't pretty obviously sturdy. Most exploring injuries and deaths are due to this hazard.

A fellow explorer went through the floor here,(third floor in an apt.) he stepped beside the boards and went through up to his waist. He wrenched his shoulder.

He must have been a total moron.

I have found a cellar. The hard way. Narsty water was narsty. And Steed, concrete floors scare me more than wood, I can tell if a wood floor is weak pretty much most of the time, but not concrete which was done wrong to begin with and the rebar has deteriorated to the point of "Oh shit!"

I know of two people who this happened to. One wound up in the hospital.

As for me, I try to think very light thoughts.

Fellow explorer made this hole in the lower levels of an unused power plant. Was up to his chest in rusty cuts. The floor below us was over a story down. The only thing that saved him was a nice cushy asbestos insulated 6" pipe.

Last night my friend went up to her knee through a rotten roof. I thanked her for finding us a way into the building before helping her up.. I wonder sometimes why my friends still talk to me!

(kidding, of course - I helped her up before thanking her for finding a new point of entry )

A friend of mine fell through the 8th platform of the cradle in an Atlas F missile silo in Roswell. Luckily, the 8th platform is only 15 feet above the concrete floor, but he fractured his kneecap and we had to help him climb up out of there. Freaky to watch, I was on the platform above him and was looking down through the grates and watched him disappear in a cloud of dust. The booming sound of him hitting the bottom resonated throughout the silo. Scary stuff.


That's terrifying, falling in a silo is no bueno. Way to find an F with intact cribbing, this is a dream of mine

I had a friend fall 4 stories from a hole in a catwalk. Getting paramedics to her was an interesting experience. She ended up with a broken neck, collapsed lung and several other critical injuries which left her in an hospital in another town for a couple of months for surgeries before she could be moved to hospital in her hometown.

Show up at 9:30 with 15 dollars cash and your fingers crossed.

Holy crap. Did she have to get medivaced out? Was there any permanent damage done? How's she's doing now?
