It’s a shame but s#!t happens. Looks like a reasonable repair to me. Are there some missing collar ties?

Is that sheetmetal attached secure(ly) enough to hold a persons weight?

Not missing John. I don’t wear collar ties any more.
I was just yanking your chain. Since I hadn't yanked it yet.

From the looks of that pic, it appears that collar ties are in place. I see two installed with three rafters visible. They are not required on every single rafter.
Sheetmetal looks good to me, so long as there's no moisture stains.

Perhaps it could support some wee folk. Luckily I did not step through it when I was on the roof.
No offense to any of our midget inspectors out there.

I resemble that remark!!
By the way, that's a prime example of why I always look at the attic before walking the roof.
