He said: "I can't remember falling off the ladder. It was properly secured and I must have over-reached.

He fell 20ft and can't remember it. Lol, bit too proud to explain what he actually did wrong I think! *must have overreached* lol  ;D

Bought this yesterday...mighty impressed.

my brother fell off his ladder yesterday and broke his pelvis in 4 places he fell from 3mtr and will be in hospital for about a week , sad thing is this was his last week on ladders as he was converting his customers to wfp, now he might not be able to use his wfp for 3 months ,so if you are using ladders be extra careful please

How extra time does it add on to each job setting it up?

When you bring your bucket around the house, bring the thing with you. Place the thing down, put your ladders on. And there you go. Moving the ladder? Just pick it up with the ladder.

Probably would take 15min away from an 8 hour working day or so. It can really be done quickly.

Takes a couple of seconds to save your life. :)

I fell 16ft head first into a yorkshire stone brick wall and drove home past the hospital , was  at work the next day
my brother was in a m/bike acccident and was in a coma for a couple of months
after breaking his neck.

the point being I fell at a higher speed than my brother was going and he was wearing a  crash helmet
I couldnt wear a cap cus of the egg on my head

Micheals injury was serious and wish him a speedy recovery and all the best for his future,
