#FatherOfTheYear. Gets his kids to climb the ladder at home so he doesn’t fall off, hit his head, get concussed and lose his medical. You’ve actually got more chance of crashing your home built aircraft that fall off your ladder.
Again, you don't know what you are talking about.

.......ladders were associated with more deaths and injuries that any other household product, with older people most likely to suffer serious injuries from a ladder fall.

In Victoria alone, there is around 1200 emergency department presentations due to ladder falls and around six Victorians die as a result of falling from a ladder at home each year.

The latest data shows hospital admissions for ladder falls around the home have gone up by 22% over the five years to 2018/19 – from 614 to 752. The number of men hospitalised increased by 16% from 474 to 549 and concerningly the number of women jumped by 45%– from 140 to 203.

Sixty-one percent of all hospital admissions were people aged 60 and over, and men aged from 40 to 79 made up more than half (55%) of the people who presented to hospital emergency departments after falling off a ladder.

The "kids" are 30 somethings and fit as Mallee Bulls.
