Safty First

[Sojourner]

Ouch!!!!!!!

Sorry to learn the mishap but glad to hear from you about getting recovering & getting your strengths back to normal soon as possible.
Thanks for informing us about being more alert about using ladder wisely.
I too have many very close calls on extension ladder & step ladder...learn many "don't do" or "don't skip safety procedure".

I learn & use "16 x 60" span. For each 60" height equal 16" away from vertical plane will result a 15º degree or 75º incline slope angle. Also make sure ladder's shoes & prongs are in good condition & proper position on surface.

Perhaps we need to recheck our ladder condition for repair before the next time!

Hope Fred continues speedy recovery. The older we get the longer to heal & suffering.

My prayer is you keep getting better every day.

Sojourn for Christ, Jerry
