Looks deadly unsteady, especially at 14'. Note there is no ballast on that
small-foot printed base. Good maybe for changing light bulbs and nothing
else. Hopefully looks are deceiving.

It appears to have about the same footprint as a regular stepladder
width. The depth of the footprint is shorter than a normal stepladder,
but since it's about the same as a normal stepladder width the overall
stability should be the same as the side to side stability of a
stepladder. The safety harness shown is utterly useless however, since
it definitely does not have the stability to support a user falling out
of the basket. Just another cutsey solution to a problem that doesn't
exist, designed by someone who has never actually used either a ladder
or a real aerial lift.
