I've come close to what is described, but luckily not yet.

War Story:
My partner, myself and another cop with a very bitey doggie responded to a burglar alarm at a Radio Shack. One burglar made it to a car with my partner and I in pursuit. A steel utility pole brought that aspect of the event to a successful conclusion and I went back to the store. The nice doggie was staring up at the ceiling. We found a ladder and a ceiling hatch open in the back room. The nice doggie climbed right up the ladder and a lot of noise began began in the attic space. Burglar, with doggie attached, fell through the ceiling and onto a glass display case. ER trip for the burglar and jail. Doggie got a nice treat.

My Dad did it!

He was in the attic and put his leg through right above the landing area to the basement of their single story ranch home.

Rather than simply patch the big hole, he turned it into a second access into the attic with a pulley system for the door he created. Quite innovative and handy was he!

Glad to hear that you are okay after this one.

Had a buddy of mine send both feet through the sheetrock ceiling at a local church. They went on either side of a rafter. Oaths and insults filled the air. Never asked if he could still have kids after that.

After my sophomore year of college my summer job was with a pest control company that also blew rock wool into attics. As the new guy, I got the job of going up with the flashlight and the remote control for the chopper/blower for a week. My next week started with a similar fall. I ended up be transferred to the post of loading the rock wool bundles into the Cooper /blower machine.
Not a bad trade from 150 degree attics to 90 degrees outside. Plus my itch factor dropped like a rock.

I did. Luck was on my side it was about a foot and a half into the garage past the kitchen wall. That made it much easier to patch ... not to mention a much happier wife.

Many years ago, a coworker of my wife wanted a ceiling fan in one of their rooms.
My wife volunteered me to install it.
First, it was 90 deg outside.
I went into the attic to run wire to the new fan.
The coworkers husband asked if he could help.
I told him, yes, but not in the attic.
Of course before I realized he had come into the attic, he put his foot through the ceiling.
So, I answered no, I did not, but he did.
I suffered from with my very first round of heat exhaustion from that.

I thought this would be about taking a leak in the pool.

Yes, I did it, but not nearly that bad!!

Just cracked the wallboard, which was easily repaired.

I didn't fall through, but while walking around the attic, I caused a bunch of fractures along the ceiling in the garage and kitchen while investigating a water leak.

Yes here. What made things worse was it was a house that was for sale and I was previewing with my realtor and not interested in buying. Can't remember what possessed me to be up there in the first place. The ceiling was those 12" square fiber like tiles and I only knocked down 4 with my foot. Although I offered to pay, my realtor handled it though maybe he upped his commission in the end to make up for it.

I've done it - right leg went through into the hallway below and right elbow went into a bathroom. I was hung up on an interior wall. Yelled for the wife to come help me out and she replied, "Where are you?" I told her to come upstairs and look for the leg sticking out of the ceiling. Broke my thumb on the way down, but not badly.

I've done it in reverse. Many years and 100 pounds ago, sitting in the kitchen with some friends, I was bragging about how high I could jump. Noting the 9 foot ceiling, I stated that I could jump and touch it with the top of my head (I am 6-2). Nobody believed me so I got up and jumped. Put a nice round hole in the drywall ceiling. Damned lucky I didn't hit a joist or I could have snapped my neck. Alcohol may have been involved.....
