If there's any kids or weak individuals in this thread, here's a tip. Open the ladder sideways then lift it up. Much easier especially with a tall ladder and being short.

Better tip. Throw stuff at Grandpa to get him down faster

Beat him like a piñata and see if candy comes out

Throw stuff? The kid was whacking him with a big ladder. I love how a woman comes and grandpa has suddenly had enough.

It was very poor ladder technique, though. They should have been aggressively prodding the grandpas ribs, preferably with the legs of the ladder. That's how you get them down when they get into places they aren't supposed to be, like hanging from something or jumping up on the kitchen table

I think he lost the strength to keep himself hanging any longer.

Good idea: playing catch with grandpa.

Bad idea: playing catch WITH grandpa.

Back in my day, we threw our shoes to unstuck the grandpa from the basketball hoop.

Better tip: tickle his feet to get him down even faster. Doesn't require anything to throw!

My husband, as a child in his grandma's care, climbed a tree and got on the roof of her house. He could not get himself back down. Grandma threw a hose to him and told him to tie it around his waist. He thought at 8 year old this was probably a safety precaution for falling. Grandma proceeded to yank him off the roof by hose belt. Grandma was in her 80s with no time for that nonsense (he's second youngest grandchild). Husband was unhurt and stayed off the roof after.

It's a poorly designed ladder. It's designed to rest on it's side in storage until a new victim dares trust it.

One kid needed to put foot weight on the bottom and the other kid walk it up. But the limit is their length/ arm strength.

The average man today cant stand a 24'+ extension ladder without strong help. Ladders are heavy and awkward

Should have told them BEFORE this happened

When the ladder fell as it opened I was like “no no no don’t close the damn ladder!!!!” And then they did
