Blessing of Gomel after a Fall

Question

I fell from the height of a floor along with a gypsum ceiling, and thank God, all that happened was a bruise on my hand. Do I need to recite the Gomel blessing? 

Answer

Shalom Rav

Yes, this is considered a danger, and you should recite the Gomel blessing.
