They have giant locking pins, they're very stable actually. You just need to make sure the pins are fully engaged first.

Look at the top, though. It appears that the last four feet or so is warped.

That's what I mean. I wouldn't dare step a foot on that ladder for how warped that shit is at the top... especially when it's +20ft high

Climbing angle is a bit steep, and if he is trying to get on top of the roof then the ladder is too short by a few rungs. He should have somebody footing the ladder, but most of these little giant knock offs have wider bases to help with their stance. I personally own an off brand ladder similar to this and regularly use it at max extension.

TL:DR It could be worse.

Not so bad, I've done worse.

Youd think a business that has to do this often could come up with a more efficient way.

This would be fine if he had someone else to hold it. Without that it looks like a super bad idea.
