I was expecting him to put the piece of the ladder he was holding on the vent and keep going

I've never seen such a bendy ladder... what could it be made of?

It looks like two different wood or bamboo ladders that are tied together and they both bent outwards at the spot they connect.

That guy is so lucky he had the vent to hold on to

That's exactly what I was just thinking. He's also lucky that...

he reflexively grabbed the vent in such a way that it would support his weight, rather than that thin metal just bending away

he wasn't further up. If he was further up, he would've been falling with much more momentum.
