How many framing contractors walk on walls routinely?

I used to exclusively walk plates in my younger years, but as I developed my business I devised ways to line up studs joists and rafters and use walk boards and ladders more and walk plates kess. I indoctrinate this philosophy with my guys and we have a good system. It is easier on your back to work 3' from standing level than to bend over to touch your toes. Sometimes we have to walk plates, and we do. The majority of the time we find a more comfortable way, not because of OSHA, I have never seen them in 27 years, but because of common sense and wanting to stay healthy for family in the long run.
It took a while to change mindsets, but now it comes natural and feels good.

Wow, and all this without the intervention of OSHA! Maybe God gave man a brain afterall. All those tooting the OSHA horn must be nothing but scarecrows.

I certainly wouldn't want to slide down any roof backwards and upside down. If I did, I'd hit the bottom "L" kicker that I always put on the bottom and I'd probably get at least a bump on my head. If I bounced over it and fell off the roof, I'd try to remember Jerrald's trick. But, I will try to add a full twist too for extra difficulty points.

Sticking the landing is the trickiest part....
