A BUILDER fell more than 15 feet off scaffolding to a boarded walkway only to bounce off and fall another six feet. Paramedics treated 52-year-old Ian Woodward at the scene in Middleton before taking him to the RLI after the fall on Monday. One paramedic remembered: "He was in extreme pain as you can imagine. He had dislocated his hip and suffered other injuries." Mr Woodward was working on a building on Middleton Road before his fall. His condition was described as comfortable.
