I looked up how to build a ladder and this how stuff works post was a top hit.

What the fuck is going on here. I have never seen anyone stand on a ladder like these 2 dudes. Is this an acceptable way to use a ladder????

    Had a painter doing my wallpapers that used the ladder like stilts. He also stood on the ladder like this and basically "walked" around the room on it. Here's a YouTube Short that has someone doing the same: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XaBqXk5Tal4 .

      Yikes.

      It's all fun and games and saving precious minutes of time and effort until you fall over and give yourself permanent spinal damage.

      I mean you can really see how how it saves time and is probably an invevitsble innovation.

      But goddamned the time it goes bad, its not only a fall, its a fall squarely on the nuts.

      Bravery like mountain biking with a straight top tube.
