Lloyd quickly quoth:

Let's see, you need to take a drill up on the roof. You take your
cordless drill up. The battery dies. Your spare battery is over by the
ladder, and you can't quite reach it. Trying, you injure your shoulder
(and actually push the spare battery off the roof, where it falls on
your wife's head. She yells and leaves to complain to a neighbor), and
are not able to finish the job or climb down. You wish you hadn't
forgotten your wireless phone, that could have been used to call for
help.

Hehehe. In that case, the person should stay on the ground and use
their cell phone to call a REAL contractor or handyman.

Also, he should heed these timeless words of wisdom:

If at first you don't succeed, forget skydiving.
and
Never attempt to leap a chasm in two jumps.
