Glad hes ok and home owners weren’t having a party

Like many homes in the US, it seems like the one he fell on was little more than an insulted wooden shack. My guess is the roof was just the right hardness where it could both slow his fall and not flatten him like a pancake. Good for him.

Out there in Cali that would be 3/8 OSB, tar paper and Spanish tile. Lucky fellow, back here I think the roofing code is actually more rigorous as the houses need to stand up to tornado and occasional hurricane force winds. Out there earthquakes are the bigger hazard. That and wild fires. Oddity of home construction out there, most of the houses are stucco with tile roofs, either Spanish tile or concrete tiles with a steel plate in the center....not especially flammable stuff. Houses there tend to burn from the inside of the attic out. Something about the soffit vents during wild fires actually tends to suck super heated air into the attic space, igniting it from the inside.
