More than a few fall off ladders in boatyards, as well. Everybody
gets confident about their ability to climb one-handed (or no-handed)
while carrying heavy tools or awkward parts. Most of the time, it
works, too...

It only needs to not-work once though

Yep, you got that right. Ladders scare the hell out of me,
particularly when working alone. When I was in Basic I fell off the
top of one of those backward-inclined climibing obstacles on the
"confidence course" about 20 feet into the edge of the sand pit. My
hip has never been quite the same since, but I figure I was lucky as
it was -- could have missed the pit and then would have busted
something bad for sure.
