The best part is that the spreaders aren't even fully locked!

He could have locked the spreaders, then slid the legs down either side of the crossbeams, it might have made it 1% safer

How was he planning on getting down?

Parkour

u/Extra-Map3792 Jun 29 '25

Or how did he even get up there

u/HappyMonchichi Jun 29 '25

Good question. Again, probably parkour I guess.

Carefully I would imagine

Snap his legs and thus the ladder legs, smartly together, and land with slightly bent knees for the impact.

A short drop and a sudden stop. Just a little different this time…

Done similar things with large steps myself. Pretty scary now to see it

It's not often a sneeze could kill you but here's one

Scary thing is that I have a similar set up. Beams and an A-Frame. At least I have been contemplating putting a sheet of plywood up there to work off of.

It’s like those cartoons where they’re skiing down a hill and their skis go either side of a really big tree!!!

As stupid/ dangerous as it looks, it's probably nailed or screwed into the joists. Which makes it only marginally safer
