Parrott reports the history of a man of fifty, weighing 196 pounds, who fell 110 feet from the steeple of a church.

In his descent he broke a scaffold pole in two, and fell through the wooden roof of an engine-house below, breaking several planks and two strong joists, and landing upon some sacks of cement inside the house.
