Update: my stilts tipped on a Tuesday and I took out a whole corner bead
So last Tuesday I was rolling along on my stilts in a hallway in Cheyenne, feeling pretty good about myself, and I forgot there was a drop off into the living room where the floor changes height by about an inch and a half. The stilt caught the lip, I went full cartoon mode, and my arm swung straight into the corner bead I just put up, taking the top 4 feet of it with me on the way down. I sat there on the carpet for a second just staring at the bent metal and the dent in the wall behind it. Took me 40 minutes to fix what I broke in 2 seconds. Anyone else ever eat it on stilts, or am I the only one who forgets to check the floor height first?
