[QUOTE="quad, post: 16247336, member: 17952"] The ladder has to extend past the eaves, preferably up to 3'. He's lucky it didn't fall while he was on it. I broke my wrist a few years ago when I had a wooden ladder staged against a brick wall on a deck. It was too short to reach past the gutters and stopped about 4" below the gutter. I was standing on it cleaning the gutters when it slid back on the deck. It all happened so fast. I put my left arm out to stop the fall and when I hit the deck realized I ****ed my arm up real bad. Looked at it and it was crooked at the wrist. It was extremely painful and breaking a limb is no joke. Fortunately it was a clean break and the doctor aligned the bones up and my arm is almost 100%. I have full supination. Sometimes it feels like the wrist is in concrete but with regular exercise it stays flexible. My face was cut also and my left leg hurt like hell the next couple of days and turned blue. There was an outdoor glass table that I barely missed in the fall so it could have been worse. My roofer showed me his forearm and it is completely crooked after an accident a few years ago. He can still do his job obviously and I did not realize his handicap until he showed me when he stretched both arms out. Falling off a ladder is a serious situation that can kill you and I hope this guy learned his lesson and gets the right ladder and stages it properly in the future. [/QUOTE]
