This is a bricklayer's Accident report, which was printed in the

newsletter of the Australian Equivalent of the Workers' Compensation

board. This is a true story. Had this guy died, he'd have received a
>
Darwin Award for sure.
> Dear Sir:
> I am writing in response to
your request for additional information in
> Block 3 of the accident
report form. I put "poor planning" as the cause
> of my accident. You
asked for a fuller explanation and trust the
> following details will be
sufficient.
> I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I
was working
> alone on the roof of a new six story building. When I
completed my work,
> I found that I had some bricks left over which, when
weighed later were
> found to be slightly in excess of 500 lbs.
>
Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a
>
barrel by using a pulley, which was attached to the side of the building

on the sixth floor.......
