Oh - of COURSE its a false story - just a good funny one.
We all know hams don't use buckets for their tools.
It was on some ftp site in the early 90's I think... everyone knew it was
just a joke - but you couldn't help but snicker as each paragraph
introduced a new wrinkle and a new woe to the unlucky ham.
It was written up like it was an explanation to his insurance company.

Mythbusters looked into this myth and ircc they found it not only false
but impossible. I could be wrong though.

The best part of the (obvious) joke was that it WAS possible as stated, if
not probable. That is to say, the physics of the story I saw was indeed
correct (assuming he brought up that many tools- which is probably the fatal
flaw in the screen play). I think the one I saw had him use an old wooden
barrel (easier to break apart upon contact w/ the ground)
