They called out for help, but none of their workmates came to help since they had either ear muffs/plugs on with loud equipment running or listening to music with ear plugs. >_< Not only were they in pain, they lost all sensation in their legs. Then one day when they were painting near the top of the ladder at a job site, they lost their footing coming down the ladder and fell hard onto their tailbone. I've heard of a story of a longtime tradesperson who was very adept with ladders like they were born with natural monkey-like reflexes. Again, it's not good for the step ladder to suddenly give out from under you when you're in a very vulnerable position - unless you're a parkour artist who can "roll" into the fall. I've had name brand stuff fail prematurely on me before when they were simply relying on their name to sell shoddy products, which doesn't help their name. Some are better built than others with a bit of an error margin for overloading, and brand name generally doesn't guarantee quality. It depends on the construction of the step ladder though. I am fat AF and tall about 250+lbs, the featherlite ladders wobble more than it They'll likely be sold out before then, due to the RFD effect. This is a nice find ahead of BF which isn't even for a few more weeks. o_OĪlso a nice addition to your very own backyard Hell in a Cell grudge match. Hearing your poor step ladder groan and creak when you climb up aren't generally good sounds to hear. The metal won't hold up and the weakest points are the joints and attachment points like the steps. You may get away with overloading a bit once in a while, but not every time. It's not an exact science, but you need to also count the weight of your tools/load when you climb up the step ladder. So if you already weigh more than 200 lbs, for example, then the maximum weight of the stuff you need to huff up the step ladder would be about 25 lbs. Do keep in mind the 225 lb rating is the maximum load bearing weight of the ladder. Wow! This is an ATL for a great step ladder.
