Ladders

Someone took the time to collect a bunch of pictures of ridiculously dangerous use of ladders.  Some I had seen before, but most are new and interesting.  You must check them out HERE.

It reminds me of a previous profession as an electrician.  I remember having to install a ceiling fan on a cathedral ceiling that was 18' up.  All we had was a 10' step-ladder.  So, my father came up with the idea of setting up two saw horses with 2"x8" planks across them, then setting the ladder on top of those planks.  I still don't remember why I was the one to go up there, but I took the call, and it was probably one of the scariest jobs I was asked to do.  Even with the help, I had to stand on the second to top step, which is one above the OSHA approved safe level.
