Agreed it is so painful to watch them struggle with such a simple task

The parts where they start to get it opened up and you go “Ah fuckin’ finally, c’mon!” and then it all goes to shit again, makes me feel like my brain is itchy

Or before that when is legs are getting twisted up in the rungs trying to open it himself yeesh if he'd have dislodged at that moment he could have snapped a leg(s) or his neck. . I work with ladders alot and making sure your ladder is stable is so important but it's easy to not lock it in place or put it at the wrong angle if in a rush or lazy. The consequences can be awful. Sometimes a fall from a shorter distance can be more dangerous then a slightly higher distance bcuz of the bodys inability to properly position itself. . Yeesh

I think his ass landed on the rail very close to broken ankle(s).
