Falling through the roof.

Has anyone had any experiences of falling through their roof while walking around up there? I've always wondered about this while up on the roof and what people do when it happens to them.
Pics and vids would be great.

I didn't fall thru the roof, but I can tell you that the skylight above the shower in my Laredo is damn tough. Was up there washing the roof, had a misstep and all 250 lbs of me (well maybe 1/2 of me, cause is was only 1 foot) stepped right in the center of that skylight. I thought for sure it was going to bust and my leg would be hanging in the shower. It bounced right back though and has been thru some really big rain storms since with leaks at all. You can't even tell it happened.

If worried you might fall thru, spead out you weight. On my 40 ft park trailer I made 2 2x2ft padded plywood sections and stood or kneed on them when on the roof. Something that would span the tresses or what ever they call the support beams.
