I had a tech do that about 25 years ago.  He went through a large beam
and thought he was going upstairs.  Solution: He pounded a 3/8" dowel
through the hole and patched the roof with tar (in a caulking tube.  I
gave the customer a warranty on our work equal to the balance of the
term of his new roof.  No claim, still a customer.  Still have the
warranty letter in his file!
