I knew the 4:1 ratio for proper angle, and he doesn't mention that, but does explain trick to get the same angle using just your foot placement and arms to measure.

Hire someone. It's way cheaper than doctors.

right on about kids & ladders. use bike locks to secure ladders to support braces to keep them from traveling.

also, discovered a phenomenon working retail. use a ladder to work merchandise, on upper selves, /lights/etc, and customers are drawn to it like "moths to the flame". end up going up & down while other workers in the area are within 10 yds. grrrrr!

learned to get fellow workers at the base to deal w/the "where're your..." moths, so could finish the high work. (that or do it after closing)

learned safety early as not a fan of heights. secure it so could focus on the climb. "...okay...doing good...one more step...no the ladder isn't shaking that's your pulse..."

jokingly says...

But…chicks dig scars, and America has the best Dr. to daredevil ratio in the free world!
