well this might be instructional this might be entertaining or
it might just be downright cringe-worthy or it could be all of the above hi everybody this is
tracy bookman owner of homestead roofing welcome to another one of our walk in the park videos
today we're gonna preview some videos that i've got queued up on youtube
let's see if we can learn anything all right i've got the first one queued up here
and see if i can do this one-handed push play all right whoop that was bound to happen all right
all right so this first one looks like some sort of uh oh
you have to get up oh another ad all right hey let's just walk right up just walk right up
it's very safe it's adorable yeah yeah now it's locked in place now it's like locked in place
oh my gosh
and his friend is just laughing at him oh i've seen this one before
all right all right all right let's we got to stop all right let's talk about that one all right so
this one right i mean i really feel for these guys but there's some major things going wrong here so
it's it's obviously it's cold it's winter time it looks like the driveway is wet they don't have the
ladder somehow anchored or secured to the roof and there's two of them on the ladder so you've
got so you've got all that weight of two guys pushing downward probably on a slippery surface
there was no way that was not going to happen all right so let's keep going that one was just scary
all right so i can't can't quite see this he's got a hold of another ladder oh he's
trying to go down and he misses his footing oh gosh what's this guy doing all right
oh oh oh all right what happened with this guy let's stop all right so again it looks like he had
his ladder set up on a surface that was too smooth too slippery it looks like it's just concrete
that's something that you you've got to be careful about i mean if you've
got your ladder on something yeah the ladders have those little rubber feet on them that's
those are supposed to prevent that kind of thing but you should always take some sort of
precaution if you're setting your ladder up on a slippery surface concrete or like the trex decking
the tracks decking really scares me and there's there's not a good way but the other thing that
that guy had going wrong was that his ladder was probably at too steep of an angle and so that's
what helped facilitate that letter from coming out from underneath oh no no no no what are you
thinking only men do this kind of stuff of course that's going to come out what's going to happen
oh this is bad oh my gosh oh how did he oh he had to have broken something oh yeah little stepladder
whoa overreaching your ladder don't do it keep your shoulders in line with the ladder
all right we got this doesn't look good got his friend down there
trying to hold the ladder maybe oh friend gives up oh write the ladder down oh yeah beep yeah yeah
of course
that was funny oh gosh no oh face plant oh my gosh what is going on here
what oh i see oh my gosh they had their ladder balanced on stairs what are they thinking
all right let's see oh yeah so what is this some sort of security camera
footage or something i don't know maybe the guy's checking the camera
so we can't tell what's going on ah jeez ride the ladder down
oh gosh i mean face plant crews are battling a warehouse another firefighter no beach this
morning cell phone video capturing look at that terrifying moment yeah firefighter terrifying from
that ladder oh my gosh the pressure of the water just blew him right off the ladder okay ladder's
too straight up and down on this one and it just gave way oh gosh and that guy's in major paint oh
ah oh yeah okay well if you're gonna be stupid
right if you're gonna be stupid you deserve some sort of a problem is that oh gosh oh
okay guys way over there in the corner he's on a stepladder and oh geez i don't know what happened
i don't know i can't tell what happened on that one the ladder just moved sideways
okay slippery floor we know what's gonna happen slippery four he's getting up there
gonna ride it ride it oh face plant yeah oh and he's grabbing his head that was a bad one
oh man i don't know i don't know if i should be watching these
all right so what is this funny but painful ladder fail oh and this has got sound effects too
oh just falling backwards off the water what is this person doing ah
ah yeah he's in pain oh all right so i on that one again step ladders
man you've got to be right straight up and down on a step ladder i mean if you're leaning side
to side front or back that thing is gonna come out from underneath you sorry to say whatever
okay what's going on setting up his ladder
everything looks alright so far what somebody just sound like somebody said oh my
gosh no way okay we've seen this one we'll skip this one oh so that guy
so that guy he was he had pulled out the the stays so he so on those kind of ladders right so they
they extend up and down with little you know brackets on the side that you pull out and then
you can move the ladder up and down it's called a multi-ladder and it looks like he popped out
the last this the last remaining bracket that releases it but he had his fingers probably on one
of the rungs and the ladder came down and pinched his fingers in between yeah that had to over
but honestly that guy was crying like a little girl all right i'm not sure what
what's going on it's like maybe this guy's trying to got it got it leaned up against
it oh no he's trying to do the ladder balance is that what he's doing he's on a stepladder
oh yeah he's showing off he's showing off not going to end well very nice nice
got the classical music going oh of course only guys do that
cat what's up with the cat trying to help the cat okay all right that one was good
that was not nice all right oh another deck oh jeez he came down right on his ankles
and he didn't even look like he's really in pain all right so we've seen this one before
i'm gonna skip this one
what are they doing oh it just came right out from underneath him i don't even know what happened
okay he's trying to move ladder it's too tall for him and it's windy
his friends are laughing he's eddie now what's he gonna do
yeah that was funny okay what's going on here
you might want to go down a little lower you might want to get down a little lower
what's he going to do he's going to pick up speed
oh okay what is this another show-off ladder balancing doing good so far
that's gonna hurt no matter what oh yeah another tree thing
all right oh yeah his ladder is just too steep of an angle or too sharp of an angle there's no
way that ladder wasn't going to come out from underneath there all right bunk bed ladder okay
what another cat oh a cat going up ladder that was good
oh gosh oh yeah oh so now i see what was going on in that before ah so many of those okay again
here we go another deck composite deck he's all the way at the top of this thing oh jeez ah come
on get off get up oh oh my gosh step ladders i hate step ladders that had to have hurt oh gosh
all right oh yeah okay if you're gonna be stupid right if you're gonna be stupid
all right so that's probably enough i think kind of got got the point right you got to
be careful when you're on ladders you want to make sure that they're on something solid
firm that so the ladder's not going to slide out from underneath you
if you do have to put your ladder on something you know some sort of a slippery or smooth surface
the best thing to do is use the ladder's little helper you can get that off amazon i think it's
about 30 bucks something like that or do something smart to secure the fee
if you're gonna have a friend helping you make sure that he's actually helping you make sure
that he's paying attention and he knows what's going on also you want to make sure that the feet
of the ladder aren't too far away from whatever it is you're climbing up good rule of thumb is
put the ladder up against the building stand with your feet touching the feet of the ladder and then
reach reach straight out like this if you can grab a rung of the ladder that's right in front of you
that's a good angle if you can't reach it the ladder is at inclined too much like this
if your arm is bent then the ladder is too straight up and down like that but there's
just really some simple rules like i say use the ladder helper that's a great tool
it's got the rubber grips on it so that helps prevent the ladder from sliding down like that
it's not 100 fool proof but it helps it's also got those little wings on the side
prevents your ladder from moving side to side plus it's got rubber underneath where it's attaching to
the gutter so that prevents side to side sliding also all right i hope you enjoyed this video if
