New record for most dangerous ladder usage - GIF

Yeah he lowered and raised again because it didn't fall the first time, still ranked as complete stupidity.

The event was staged for the video - notice that the pane is parallel with the ladder uprights as it leaves the bottom but at the top it must have contacted the forcing frame made of 2x's and metal strap attached to the ladder angled to push it off.

When we installed heavy panes like that one we usually took the easiest way to get it there and it wouldn't be unusual to hoist it at the garage end and then hand carry it along the ridge to the wall of the second story where it was supposedly being installed. But in this case it was hoisted at the garage end because of the concrete slab there for the pane to fall onto insuring a good effect when it fell.

Still funny though even if staged.
