Once the fan blade hits the ladder used for access it will stop

So we should be putting disclaimers in our reports regarding silverware and electrical receptacles? I understand your point of view Robert, but sometimes we have to say enough is enough. When 90% of our report is disclaimers and directions for people that just don't get it though, we have a problem. Really, break the supplied pic down to its' simplest concept. Should it really be necessary for an inspector to warn the potential home buyer that they should turn the fan off before trying to access the attic? If you can't figure that one out, you have no business owning a home, much less living on your own, I think.
