I am still getting my breathing back to normal - that was, ummm, pretty

We do this in the UK too!, here's Eve construction installing the new
digital TV transmitter array at Stockland Hill in Devon you'll note they
don't see the ground that much of the time as its rather cloudy up
there!.

Like the small petrol genny for using the angle grinder;-)...

In the grand scheme of things, once you are 30' foot up, the outcome
should you fall is much the same, all that changes is the time you get
to contemplate your mistake. So in many respects it ought to be no worse
than climbing a three section 14 rung ladder from a overall danger point
of view... (assuming one ignores the whole level of fitness required thing!)

Leaning to the side could cause one foot of the steps to lift, for one
thing. After that anything could happen. I've been using steps and
ladders all day and every day since 1970 and take my word for it, what
that bloke is doing is very dangerous.

Not if it's tucked under the railing. That ladder cannot move.

I wouldn't, I have a platform to put up on the stairs.
It looks pretty safe though, I just don't like ladders much.

Don't wish to alarm anyone but I've done this hundreds of times, it's always
felt safer than the times i've put ladders on a sloping roof to get at a
higher roof, there, the ladders *can* slip, wheras they can't in that

In reality, I don't see that as particularly dangerous. The ladder is
restrained by the railings in such a way that it can't slip (although a
touch more "ground" under the feet would be nice). So the main extra
risk is the higher drop. However working on a taller ladder could pose
the same drop risk.

He lacks the "three points of contact" with the ladder, but then again
is nicely wedged up against the wall.

It is easy to see the non trades type people here.
The only thing I see about the arrangement is the total height, which
would put some people who did not like heights off.

I would be slightly wary of the ladder itself - it looks like a set of
steps rather than a ladder in the traditional sense, and hence may not
be designed to cope with the sort of bending load being placed on it in
that situation. However without seeing the ladder for real its hard to
tell.
