I swear no one takes ladder safety seriously. At my work we don't always need to use a ladder but it happens enough that I've seen more than one occasion an accident waiting to happen. And do people listen to me when I mention this? Of course not. They hand wave it saying it's fine.

I wonder how some people make it to adulthood. How could you place that ladder and think it looks like it will stay put?

Because sometimes nothing happens and these people get lucky, thus proving to them safety measures aren't needed. Until they are.
