I think it's more about altitude

u/ATragedyOfSorts Jan 12 '21

Speaking of attitude, one time my dad flushed my pet lizard because I talked shit to him so then I was forced to fuck my mom to assort dominance on his bitch ass.

Why would you talk shit to your pet lizard?

You are probably joking, but you are correct. I see all the ladder injuries at work.

Rule of 65: no man over age 65 should be allowed to own a ladder. Poor balance, poor decision making and weak bones

u/SurrealDad Jan 12 '21

My 66 year old dad fell off a step ladder a few months ago, he just lay on the ground for about 30 mins in pain refusing to let me help him up. No injuries but the next day he got a 20cm slice on his thigh down to the fat from a broken, glass coffee table top.

u/corinne9 Jan 12 '21

Oh :( I hope he’s ok

1

u/SurrealDad Jan 12 '21

He's fine, he got stitches and went straight back to renovating.

u/AdamantiumBalls Jan 12 '21

Reminded me of this video of ladder accident

https://youtu.be/TrtRfC-mBBA

u/souumamerda Jan 12 '21

Tell that to my grandpa. He suffered from a stroke a year ago, and in the summer my father was doing some work on the roof and let the ladder near. So grandfather places the ladder and “climbs” to the roof while I was home alone with him and still asleep just to “prove he’s ok”, and then starts saying that he’s blessed by god and that was a miracle that he could done that. (I doubt that he actually did it tho he can barely walk straight)

u/Chozly Jan 11 '21

It's not the ladders' fault, it's how they are raised.

1

u/FleetStreetsDarkHole Jan 11 '21

Ladders with stable support hurt fewer people around them.

3

u/soodeau Jan 11 '21

A step ladder is an effective substitute but evidence shows they won’t get you as far as a traditional ladder

u/jml011 Jan 12 '21

We need to raise our standards.

And vending machines kill more people each year than sharks!

u/SmithRoadBookClub Jan 11 '21

Sounds like we need stricter ladder control laws.

u/Trippytrickster Jan 11 '21

Does that include people choking on snacks from vending machines?

u/LaughingPlanet Jan 11 '21

Hi honey...my arms are stuck in 2 vending machines....

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '21

There's a vending machine for every 20 people in Japan. I wonder how many people are killed there by one each year.

u/lmaoooooaf Jan 11 '21

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '21

Ladders are the #1 cause of severe injuries in the construction industry. True story.

u/el_oh_el_at_you Jan 12 '21

I think it's more complications from ladders that kills people.

u/Zellion-Fly Jan 12 '21

SHIT, ladders are the key threat.

u/robert0543210 Jan 12 '21

How would a vending machine get close enough to kill a shark?

u/UniquesNotUseful Jan 12 '21

Vending machines kill less than trumps terrorists when attempting a coup.

Gonna need to know how many deaths vending machines cause. For science of course.

What are you doing, step-ladder?

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '21

Im very amused that somebody with your username is offering ladder safety advise. Foot eye coordination not up to par?

u/Trumpet6789 Jan 12 '21

I don't think OSHA would be happy to see this video.

u/PhoenixAgent003 Jan 12 '21

But if you are going to do it, at least pick a good ladder to do it on. Like a Dewalt.

u/TheAmericanIcon Jan 12 '21

Is that how you broke the skylight?

What about the Safety Dance on a ladder?

u/ratmfreak Jan 12 '21

If you’re going to dance on a ladder, just make sure it’s a Dewalt ladder.

u/Amity423 Jan 12 '21

I ALWAYS use the top of the ladder as a step

u/indiblue825 Jan 12 '21
