Ouch. Bet that hurt

Saturday morning I decided that I couldn't stand the dusty deck any longer and it needed to be cleaned. So I got out the real deal deck cleaner stuff and scrubbed away till I was happy and needed the hose. So as you do I yelled over the balcony for the hose. First throw was a failure as was the second.
So the boy got serious like he was about the lasoo a racing stallion. Coiled up 10 feet of hose and threw it with all in his might into the air. I caught that one but then unthinkable happened and all his might seemed to have been a little more than his balance could handle. I felt this tug on the end of the hose and realised that the male had in fact thrown himself off the side of the back wall and was careering down the slope in a very ungainly manner. I did my bit and held on whilst watching the bushed being flattened. It was something like being in the jungle knowing that some large creature is following you. You can see the bush move but can't see the animal itself. So he took out several bushes and some undergrowth on his way down.
On a more serious note he did fall over the rock wall onto the stone steps and down the slope about 3m.
It could have been a disaster he could have broken some bones. But I reckon all his 10 spoons of yoghurt have paid off and his bones are rock solid. Confession: I laughed. But only so long. Once I heard him yell it's not funny I knew it was.
