[Fluff time] You fall off a 12ft ladder which peril would be best to fall on or in?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) July 18th, 2016

You are at the top of a 12ft ladder and somehow you find yourself falling, if you were to fall where you would be impaled on the spikes of a metal gate, land in a cactus patch, a large rose bush, a glass topped patio table or a fire ant mound, which would you rather fall on or in over the others?

Fire ant mound. The much lesser of all the other evils like impalement on the spiked gate,cut to ribbons on the glass table, the agony of having to have thorns and cactus needles extracted. Hit the fire ant mound and hopefully be able to sprint away fast.

A safety net.

Also, what is “ft”?

Fire ants. That’s basically the default where I live anyway.

I think the fire ants. Obviously, one would want to have to roll quickly and run like crazy to get out of there, maybe jump in a pool nearby or something. The fire ants represent a potential (though highly likely) danger, while everything is pretty much a given.

@Coloma has the right idea. Nice big soft fire ant mound. Then you start pulling off the clothes while someone gets the water hose going. Water can piss them off but it’s the best way to get a bunch off.

@ragingloli Ft. is an abbreviation for feet and foot.
