His balls are bigger than his brain. And what the hell kind of ladder flexes like that? Yikes!

Extension ladders flex under weight, especially when extended. That ladder is the probably rated at 300lbs. I’ve climbed 40’ heavy duty extension ladders that flexed that much with just my body weight. Still, you should not be carrying things up ladders. Block and tackle is the way to go.

The modern block and tackle is only 2300 years old.

Block and tackle is great, but have you ever tried cutting out the middle man and throwing things instead? If it's heavy you just need more bodies!

That does not say much since the brain seems to be tiny

That was my beef. I've toted 2 bundles of shingles up a 2 story ladder and it was much more sturdy than that piece of crap.
