That time my ladder kicked out on a Friday afternoon job
I was up on a steep driveway roof edge running coax last month and my ladder just slid sideways. Landed in a bush full of thorns, took me 20 minutes to untangle myself. Has anyone else had a ladder fail on them in a dumb way?

Read a safety bulletin once that said most ladder accidents happen on Fridays because people are rushing to finish. Sounds about right from that story lol.

Felt that one in my back just reading it. I had a ladder kick out while I was trying to reach a gutter on a wet porch, ended up sliding down the siding and ripping half the skin off my forearm. Took me a solid 10 minutes to stop swearing and check if I broke anything. It's always the dumbest, most routine jobs that get you too. Glad you landed in something softish even if it was thorny, could've been way worse on that steep driveway.
