Ever step through your ceiling?

I have put my foot and leg through a rotten wood ultility trailer I didn’t hit a support beam. I sold that trailer. Decided I like metal beds lol  Glad you’re ok

I used to manage an insulation company. I told a customer to NOT come in the attic with me but he insisted. Took him about 5 min. before he fell through his own ceiling and thankfully landed on his couch.
I didn't get the work. lol

Not my ceiling,but a family member's...on Christmas Eve, everyone was cooking in the kitchen below.

I was installing cameras in the house and was finishing the last one. I had walked through this one section of the attic multiple times, stepping on a 2x4" laying across the ceiling joists. The first time  before relying on it I had quickly looked, saw nail heads, test step confirmed no wobble so thought all was good.

The last step as I was trying to out of the attic I apparently stepped on that 2x4" just the right way - it flipped up and I went down. Through the ceiling, into the kitchen cupboard over the stove. Luckily all the food was covered and didn't ruin dinner. 

I ended up with a bunch of bruises, scrapes, and a limp for a few days. We discovered the builder or previous home owner had hammered all of the nails over into that 2x4" and left it laying there. What had seemed like a solid support was not, and helped me learn not to trust looks or even a step, and instead nudge any boards to confirm they are solidly attached.
