Panic is a terrible thing, all he had to do was ride the flange down.

But his right leg was trapped between the side rails of the ladder. Watching that made my whole body hurt just knowing how hard he hit the ground.

Ya, I see that now...tangling up in the red bucket didn't help at all, poor guy.

Looks like it may have been the lanyard attaching the stubs bucket to the ladder that did him in. It was almost like he was trying to kick the bucket and ladder away before he became entangled. Either way that had to hurt

There are ladders known to have a bad temperament.

Yes, some do, when they get tired of being stepped on!

I never knew my real ladder, but I have several stepladders.

Should introduce you to my 14' double-step ladder.
Already an overbearing resident, if I get any older, it will be impossible to deal with.

I think the feet when spread consume about 10' of floor space. It continues promise of help while running wireway along ceiling, the only reason I allow it to stay.

Better than landing on the floor wrapped up in the wrong ladder, though, I would think.
