After watching that, I'm seriously considering going 100% ladderless.

I'd have to drop a few jobs & stop doing gutter cleans (So many just don't work with the vac, the ladders get pulled out half the time) - but in the long term its prob the best way to go.

Good Video Nat, the guy tells it as it is! - main point is he knew it was dangerous too.

I watched it whilst laying in bed with a very bruised back, last week I was pressure washing some decking and slipped down some decking steps - I knew they were slippery too!

My Brother in law fell from a barn while they were erecting it and broke his back in 3 places, and has been in the same mess. He was 23 when it happened and now is 58.

How long would it take you climb and to fall ten feet? how about a second a rung!
The next time you put a ladder up the next ten seconds could change your life forever.

I watched the video and realy felt for that guy.
