I want to give dudes all types of daps for being a Boss buuuuuuuuut…..Dude, you are gonna get dead all in your face messing around doing ish like this. One slip of that damn ladder and a b*tch can cancel Christmas, Cisco -Cinco whateverthefuggo de mayo… day of the dead… that head you thought you were gonna get, etc etc.
Hell to all the nawls.












Cisco de mayo though?
Dear Slaus..
It seems that your analogy of the predicament is slightly flawed.
Actually the ladder cannot slip. Allow me to explain…
Said ladder in it's current position it wedged perfectly between wall and floor. If the weight of the man, say 180 – 200 lbs stands in his current position.. his weight will essentially wedge the ladder perfectly allowing it not to move. The only way the ladder can slip is if the floor or wall move which is most unlikely. Most logical way the accident will happen is if the man take one step to either side of the ladder..THEN this will cause facial damage along with penis extraction. Or basically as you stated, he would "get dead in his face".
Thank you…
Lo – Kei
the fugg i tell you about facts and examples.
Gotta keep you right lil bro!

He also may fall by coming back towards the rail, which will change the center of gravity on the ladder. But at said time, he will be close enough to grab onto the rail.
Unless his hands are full.
y'all lucky this isn't the 1500's… my catholic roots would cause me to stone you and your science for proving me wrong
Well, I was born and raised in the Catholic faith and do believe we still stone folks…the public just doesn't know about it! *grabs bag full of rocks* Slaus, take him out back by the Madonna memorial…
excellent point…. excellent.
However.. this will also depend on if the ladder feet were to move towards the wall. According to said pic, the top lip of the ladder appears to be wedged under the "faux" siding. This will give extra hold. So if he walked back to the rail, said ladder would not move unless siding was to fail and smoehow move itself.
annnnnnd there go my panties.
My mission here is complete then…
Well not really.. since your panties is off…
o.o
Oh man, does this bring back bad memories.
Anyone who's ever worked in old school theater lighting or did roadie work back in the day knows the horror that is the A Frame.
Basically it works like this — in older theaters, the bars that the lighting fixtures are hung from are fixed bars on the ceiling. If you're LUCKY, there's a catwalk above them that you get on and can reach down to work on them.
But if you're NOT LUCKY — then what they tell you to do is get out the A Frame, which looks something like this:

And I don't mean climb up the sides, I mean you end up on top of the middle extension that's sticking straight up, clasping onto it with your legs for dear life while you work on dusty old fresnells and parcams with your hands.
EVEN WORSE, if the stage scenery is in place and can't be moved, union guys will tell you that you have to lean the ladder onto the bars — which is accomplished by getting to the top of the ladder and then forcibly rocking it back and forth until it falls towards the light you want to fix — with you on top of it.
Getting all the way to the top of the ladder and then having a bunch of guys at the bottom shaking the hell out of the base was a regular hazing trick for newbies.
Yeah, doing lights for plays is one of my fondest memories… except for the ladder. I don't do heights well, and those things were horrifying.
Ever have a guy pull the ladder away and leave you hanging there by the rigging?
Yeah, roadies have awesome senses of humor..
Nah… I was in H.S. Not that no one thought about it, but my brother would have gone to jail for murder if they did me like that.
"get er dun!"
Appreciate the facts and examples; but I still see a candidate for the Darwin Award.
"Dude, you are gonna get dead all in your face"
hmm.. I need to steal this ;p
