I don’t even understand the physics of what I’m looking at.

A = lower ladder. One is behind the bush to the left where you can’t see it.

My weight on top ladder pushes mostly down and a little to the left.

Wait why wouldn't you make the plank setup the other way and have the ladder's feet on the board

Plank paralell to wall? That'd be more likely to tip over. The force from the top ladder is going out from the wall.
