Well if the ladder is on the ground, ie horizontal it is pretty safe now isn't it?

This is the safest ladder set-up anyone could ever obtain...

oh OK I get it

I'd agree it is pretty safe in that state, unless of course you were still attached to it when it assumed that position

Depends on who you ask!

Clue;

The horizontal distence from its top support point to the foot of the ladder is 1/4 of the unsupported length of the ladder. Or equal to a -- degree angle at the level grade.

Second Clue;

Look at the little picture on the side of the ladder. I think they call it instructions.

I think they put those in the wrong place Marcel, they should be BOLD on the 10th step face, not at the bottom on the side where you'll only read them while waiting for the Paramedics

Excellent question by the way. You can not be too safe on a ladder.
