Same. I spent lots of time on the roof of our house. I'd jump off into the snow, sometimes, or sometimes just onto the dirt.

Loved it. I hope my kids get a similar experience.

Sounds like your roof was not all that high. In the article I think they said the roof was 25 feet, which would very severely injure you (at least) if you fell off.
