    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.

    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
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    There are ladders known to have a bad temperament.

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

    And that's a big OUCH from me.
    I have a 1972 Land Rover Series III Truck Cab/Pick-Up and a 1962 Land Rover Series 2a Carawagon Camper.

    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.
