Unsafe working conditions!.. Standing on the top cap/step of the ladder and lack of safety vest. Nowadays, ladders come with safety stickers that says: Don't use the top cap/step of the ladder or the two rungs bellow it, and maintain 3 points of contact (two hands and a foot, or two feet and a hand).

All good advice, but I suspect that, had OSHA existed in WWII, we would have lost the war.
