"A painter survived getting impaled on a metal fence stake Tuesday morning after falling two stories off a ladder.
Ridgefield Fire Chief Heather Burford reported that the man, working with a crew at 263 Spring Valley Road around 11:20 a.m., fell about 24 feet from a ladder, onto a metal fence post that was more than an inch in diameter.
The fence stake punctured the man’s lower left side and went through his body and out near his clavicle, suspending him above the ground.
His fellow crew members removed the distressed man from the post before the ambulance arrived. The fall did not budge the metal stake, Chief Burford said."
