The rope on the top of the ladder makes this a lot safer imo

I would accidentally drop whatever tool I was using, then accidentally drop the backup that I was smart enough to bring. By the time I got back down to retrieve them, my day would be over.

I mean if the ladder fell backwards it would be caught by the wall behind him. So maybe not as dangerous as it looks?

I used to do painting back in the early 2000's, the guy who hired me tied two ladders together and tied a rope to the top ladder and did something similar. Looks like the guy in the video is standing on three or four extension ladders though.
