So I did roofing in Utah in the middle of the summer and on the top of the roof it's a lot warmer than it is even on the ground because you have all the black shingles that are absorbing the heat and just radiating. I made the mistake of not taking a water break when I really should have. I was super thirsty and I got a little light-headed but I kept working because I really wanted to finish the job. The end of the day was coming up and so I stood up really fast with a armful of shingles and I passed out on the top of the roof and luckily I didn't roll off the roof and die or get hurt or anything but I woke up on the roof and had to take a little break after that and get some water.
