Thank god there was a good leaf floor covering and my gear was on a pull up rope not on my back like many others on here choose to do.
I understand what happened and I am glad you didn't get fatally wounded. I had two different occasions when one of my feet came through. The flooring got rotten in a box stand, 14 ft high.
