[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4186488, member: 44288"] I have had many adventures with ladders and heights. Falling never entered into my head until it happened, three times. All three times were on those damn fold up trick ladders. One time I was in a bucket truck about 100 feet straight up working on a wireless transmission net antenna in McPherson, KS. I saw this figure overhead and saw the B2 bomber flying over me. I could almost read the names on the cockpit. He was doing bomb runs on a range by Salina. While Dayton tire was still a thing here, I was in an outdoor skycrane working on a corner camera on the Branburry Building. About the time I got up to the camera I had that skycrane almost to the extent of it's travel damn near straight up. I had just started working on the camera when a big cold front blew in. That cage I was strapped to went about 20 feet to the left then pendulumed three or four swings back to plumb. Well, after peeling my hands off of the rails, gaining back my composure and seeing all my tools fall seventy feet into the sunken drive I had parked next to, I shakingly screwed the camera's clear cover back on, rode the skycrane down, collected my tools and drove home.
