I had a high-school buddy who worked in his dad's construction company
during college summers. He had a sheet of plywood fall from a floor
above - his hard hat took the brunt of it, but the bulk of his injuries
were his ankle and knee that twisted when he went down.

It took him a long time to recuperate; luckily tha San Francisco bay
area is flush with sports medicine specialists who are used to seeing
knee and ankle injuries.
