Replying to Falling switch...

I knew this before, but today really solidified my thoughts that bailing switch just blows. All I did was come up short on a maybe 20 ft table switch and I just bounced and landed down in the flat on my hip, and how it hurts like crazy. What the crap. I mean, I know I am old, but I hate making stupid mistakes and paying for them big time. Today's little incident makes me really wary of coming up short switch on bigger hits (35+)
