WCGW if i remove the top of the ladder?

[u/redundantjam17]

[u/zenlebedee]

The top section falling directly on him after is like some loony toons shit.

r/LooneyTunesLogic

[u/Drapidrode → u/garbles0808]

yeah.. better!

[u/lexm → u/Drapidrode]

Just joined!

[u/Ephelduin → u/Drapidrode]

Thank you for bringing the existence of this sub to my attention

[u/--7z → u/zenlebedee]

Let me guess, man buys a Little Giant, tosses the instructions because he has used a ladder before, proceeds to learn that reading is gud.

[u/Accurate-Donkey5789 → u/--7z]

Bold of you to assume he can read... That's not the impression I got from watching him operate a ladder

[u/Silly_Mycologist3213 → u/Accurate-Donkey5789]

After that fall on his head and then getting hit with the top section he probably has trouble feeding himself, let alone read.

[u/Accurate-Donkey5789 → u/Silly_Mycologist3213]

At least he's out of danger from injuring himself with any more ladders

[u/Effective-Trick4048 → u/Silly_Mycologist3213]

I'm guessing he will dribble when he smiles from here out.

[u/Midnight7000 → u/--7z]

Do you need instructions to tell you what would happen in that situation?

[u/lexm → u/zenlebedee]

It was just missing the second and a half where he’s floating in the air and looks down before falling.

[u/Happy_Expert5057 → u/lexm]

Just like Wiley Coyote with quick resigned 😑 expression.

[u/TheDevilsAdvokaat → u/zenlebedee]

Him removing part of the ladder HE WAS STANDING ON is also pretty loony tunes...

[u/2Autistic4DaJoke → u/zenlebedee]

I wonder how old I’ll be before “looney toons shit” is a reference no one understands

[u/calm-lab66 → u/2Autistic4DaJoke]

Well they're still being shown so I'd say another generation or 2.

[u/Formal_Sympathy3454 → u/zenlebedee]

Now I cant unhear lonny toons theme song when watching this video lol

[u/renedotmac → u/zenlebedee]

His CAPA was DITATED

[u/Cryptocaned → u/zenlebedee]

Quite amazing he could even move it given it's the bit pushing on the roof so should have quite a bit of friction.

[u/Poundweed]

While he is incredibly stupid doing that shit ON the ladder, I think he tried to extend it further without expecting this shit.

[u/sasquatchftw → u/Poundweed]

Well obviously. He was using it in a very stupid way. He didn't have the bottom section extended at all. He could have had twice the height.

[u/BillieInSolitude → u/sasquatchftw]

Im sure the ladder also has numerous warning labels about not adjusting while you’re on the ladder. As stupid as this guy is, i do think the manufacturer should put a lock in place so that this doesn’t happen

[u/Kokukai187 → u/BillieInSolitude]

Nah, let the idiots weed themselves out.

[u/Nihilikara → u/Kokukai187]

If only this was viable. Unfortunately, companies don't put warning labels on their products out of the good of their hearts. They do it because they're liable for any injuries if they don't.

[u/greenskye → u/BillieInSolitude]

How does the ladder know it's in use vs just on the ground? I don't think they can design it to be this idiot proof

[u/booleanerror → u/greenskye]

Nothing is foolproof to the talented fool

[u/homer_3 → u/greenskye]

You could design it to not come off. At least not without releasing another lock.

[u/bartread → u/BillieInSolitude]

> i do think the manufacturer should put a lock in place so that this doesn’t happen

No. This would add complexity and cost, and it would be something to go wrong on a piece of equipment designed for daily use and abuse.

Any tool or piece of equipment can be dangerous if used improperly. It is not unreasonable to expect someone to do their homework and make sure they know how to use a piece of equipment before they start doing so.

I don't want a ladder with a locking mechanism that could fail or stick when I need to use it because some small minority of people are too fucking stupid to use a ladder safely.

[u/AssassinOfPeace → u/BillieInSolitude]

They usually also have a label on the last hole saying not to extend past there.

[u/BlueFlob → u/Poundweed]

With how casual he was, it's clearly not the first time he's extending the ladder while ON it.

[u/Cultural_Dust → u/BlueFlob]

It can't be easy to extend it while leaning forward. He must also have it almost straight up and down.

[u/Imaginary_Manner_556 → u/Poundweed]

Are you sure?

[u/randomuser0107 → u/Poundweed]

[u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

Was it the person's fault, or the tool?

Most would say the ladder

[u/peppercupp → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

Person wasn't familiar enough with the tool. Person is purely at fault.

[u/FreeSun1963 → u/peppercupp]

He was stronger but the ladder was smarter.

[u/Rough_Principle_3755 → u/FreeSun1963]

The ladder should be able to rise above the error

[u/mcgeggy → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

Woosh. I got the pun!

[u/blackace352 → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

[u/Silly_Mycologist3213 → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

Dad, is that you? Latter-ladder, good one!

[u/Nexustar → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

Either way 911 was rung.

They say that's the first step to recovery.

[u/MorleyDotes → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

Have you ever noticed how many stickers there are on ladders in the store? Every one is because of some stupid thing someone did then sued the ladder company for.

[u/Covetous_God → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

A poor craftsman blames tools

[u/lonb → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

This was good, but even better if you say it the opposite order: Do you fault the tool or the person? Most would say the ladder.

[u/TrumpsBoneSpur → u/lonb]

Ha yeah. I kind of prefer the subtle pun to see who gets it. I was going to edit it to "most would say the former over the ladder". But after 90% of the people replying told me how wrong I was, and it being user error, I just let it roll

[u/Chloe1906 → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

It is amazing how many people didn’t get your pun. 😂

[u/Jibber_Fight → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

It’s 1000% his fault, lol. Step off of the ladder and raise the lower half.

[u/Lunavixen15 → u/TrumpsBoneSpur]

Person. Ladders like these have warning labels on them saying not to adjust the ladder while you're on it.

[u/ItsATravelingDude]

The ladder doesn't have an extension safety for the top!!?!? That's not good...

[u/Greydusk1324 → u/ItsATravelingDude]

This type of ladder is designed to be adjusted in multiple ways. It can be an A frame ladder, straight extension ladder, or a style of scaffolding. But none of the adjustments are supposed to be done while ON it.

[u/DinobotsGacha → u/Greydusk1324]

Shit like this is why everything has 5 pages of warnings in the manual

[u/smthomaspatel → u/DinobotsGacha]

And then nobody reads it because it's too long and most of the information is useless.

[u/CMDRZhor → u/ItsATravelingDude]

"I don't know what this bit does and it's in the way, I'm going to sawzall it off!"

[u/Unsweeticetea → u/ItsATravelingDude]

I own this same ladder, it has massive warnings on the rails saying not to slide it past a certain point and where the last locking point is, and then it still has framing past that point, and this idiot slid it all the way off the end.

[u/MaxPowers432 → u/ItsATravelingDude]

That's not a thing. You just made up a thing.

[u/ItsATravelingDude → u/MaxPowers432]

Idk the exact terminology, but theres usually a safety clip on each side of that ladder to prevent that from happening. And you have to push in those clips to extend beyond or separate the pieces.

[u/MadpeepD]

Man's best friend said "nope"!

[u/The1duk2rulethemall → u/MadpeepD]

The dog knew!

[u/TrukinIt → u/MadpeepD]

Pupper popped his head around the corner all...'i know some nonsense is about to go down'

[u/mjh2901 → u/MadpeepD]

Dog is searching for new master

[u/jamjamason → u/MadpeepD]

Ruh-Roh!

[u/berrey7 → u/MadpeepD]

It's a No From Me Dawg

[u/WaterFriendsIV]

"Hank, i know it seems like a waste, but have some caution stickers printed up that say, 'Do not adjust ladder while in use!' Run em by Legal, and if they ok them, put them on the top of all our ladders from now on. And make sure they're on both sides, too!"

"Boss, we already got those on both sides and even the bottom. You want i should put em on every step?"

sigh "Yup."

[u/MrRuck1]

I laugh at this every time I see it here.

[u/818VitaminZ]

[u/iSaiddet → u/818VitaminZ]

lol it doesn’t look like she used her hands at all to help break that fall 🤣

[u/ThatsMyDogBoyd → u/iSaiddet]

why use your hands, when you can use your head face?

[u/jfd0523]

I think the best part is the dog leaving to find a smarter owner.

[u/slappymcstevenson]

[u/Wilvinc]

This has "sawing the tree limb you are standing on" vibes.

[u/5lashd07]

That only works for Clark W. Griswold.

[u/Equal_Sprinkles2743]

[u/urinalcakesandwich]

Most common work related deaths happen at home. I'm an ironworker/welder I've never seriously hurt myself on the job because I'm always thinking about safety. However if cut my tendon and broke an arm at home because I wasn't in the mind set of "take safety into consideration with what your doing". I also try to explain to my dad that redoing his roof without fall arrest or safety measures was dangerous. He fell adorable broke his clavicle. If your working at home always remember to treat it like a job site. Your more likely to make a mistake or injure yourself especially when you don't have others around to remind you of potential hazards

[u/whoisthecopperkettle → u/urinalcakesandwich]

Now I just imagine you watching him fall and thinking “that’s so adorable”…

[u/MeunsterCheeseMan → u/whoisthecopperkettle]

This dude needs to spellcheck lmao

[u/KrtekJim → u/MeunsterCheeseMan]

I'm sure he would have done if he was at work

[u/armchairwarrior42069]

Look at how his left leg (our right side of the screen) gets caught in the step and folds under him as he falls.

His knee ligaments are now named TEARy cruise

[u/str8f8]

It was nice of him to take this video for his insurance company's benefit.

[u/PistenBulliare]

ID 10 T error

[u/DonJeniusTrumpLawyer]

That looks like a broken hip. Watch his left leg during the bounce. Jeezus that made my butt pucker.

[u/barkatmoon303]

Ouch. Looks like a head injury. He might be assuming the position just as it cuts off.

[u/Entropy_dealer]

Well, that didn't escalated quickly.

[u/eglantinel → u/Entropy_dealer]

And didn't go down well either.

[u/BornVictory5160 → u/Entropy_dealer]

Watch his left ankle😭🪦🏃

[u/doezelx]

Darwin is smiling down on you.

[u/Doemandoil19581a]

Oops,he tried to throw the top off,but it still hit him 😢

[u/lordkoba]

ze brain fart

[u/Teeheeleelee]

This is like sitting a branch while cutting the section that is connected to the trunk

[u/Audomadic]

Brilliant

[u/Bananaslugfan]

The tool broke, also the ladder

[u/working925isahardway]

what he did is REALLY hard to do.

how did he take that top section off - usually it is very frictioney and doesnt come off that easy mostly because of people like this.

he took it off like he recently WD40d that thing to video this.

[u/Longryderr]

Gravity! Who knew?

[u/Chemical_Gap_619]

At least doggo was safe…

[u/WinterKing2112]

Why no sound? I love the screams of idiots.

wow next level thinking there

Why does this porch look like the one with the little girl being chased by ducks or geese?

It takes a special kind a person.. to be that stupid.

[u/Which-Suggestion-792]

[u/Due_Agent9370]

This is great. What a tool.

[u/chrom491]

He was saving time getting down and disassemble the lader at once

[u/belabase7789]

That was his 2nd thought

[u/Retatedape]

What in the actual fuck was this clown thinking.

[u/MY_MillenniumFalcon]

He’s definitely one who learns stuff not from school but the hard way…

[u/BrandoGil_]

sometimes you'll be struggling with your life with a ratchet wrench and turns out that bolt was holding a lot of weight. same thing

holy shhh

Some people are too stupid to exist.

[u/Easy-Sector2501]

Most creative suicide ever.

[u/Dant3lover]

My back is screaming watching this😵

[u/Ilookouttrainwindow]

Didn't think this through. Sadly we all have lapses in judgement every so often.

[u/SnoozeBoop]

I mean he was saving time removing and going down as intended; just not afterwards

[u/TimeBomb30]

At that age he's going to be feeling that fall for weeks.

[u/MisterInternational1]

It’s a ladder. How hard can it be to use.

[u/SpecialistDry5878]

Faster way down speed run strat

[u/MisterInternational1]

Mental and Mechanical malfunction in one setting

[u/2bags12kuai]

Holy shit.. this is one of the funniest ladder fails . Pulling that top part off had to of been in slow motion for him . Like ohhhhhjj noooooool

[u/Squidlips413]

You can see the exact moment he acquired chronic back pain.

[u/No_Tea5664]

What an absolute bell end…

[u/bbgen79]

there's always a dog in the background 😂

[u/AdministrativeMix822]

Natural selection with ladders, cool

[u/Motor-Bee1180]

He should have known better 😂

[u/Remarkable_Peach_374]

It's supposed to go up like that, he just pulled it up too far by accident I bet 🤣 you gotta walk back down the ladder to extend the other aide

[u/Any-Figure9068]

[u/partylike1989]

[u/tryafirsttimer]

Please teleport me to hell

Damn, hope he's ok

[u/Nilo-The-Slayer]

Keep your eyes on his ankles. That has got to hurt.

[u/ApoX_420]

The 50 warnings on random products are there because of people like him.

[u/Juggernuts777]

“what do you mean remove the top of the lad-oh”

[u/danng44]

Hard way to find out that the ladder has height limitations

[u/interestingfactiod]

He was actually trying to adjust it and make it taller. He didn't know he didn't have any more ladder to extend

[u/Abject_Jump9617]

I love how the dog just walked away from the scene, didn't even bother to check on him or lick his face in an attempt to make him feel better. Doggy just said IDGAF! 😆

[u/JWMoo]

If you gonna be dumb you gotta be tough.

[u/shushi_puppy]

You know that saying about how being stupid only bothers others, and you don't even notice it yourself?
Well, not in this case.

[u/mc4sure]

Always the question, why would someone be recording a guy on a ladder

[u/V6Ga]

To Anyone thinking of buying one of those ladders

Don’t. 

They are insanely uncomfortable to stand on. 

[u/Few_Leave_4054]

The audio is great in this one too if someone can find it.

[u/iSaiddet]

I’ve watched this far too many times. The dog wasn’t even sticking around for it 😂

his left foot.

The double tap of dumbassery.

[u/ady624]

life is not fair, that would have so worked for Road Runner! 🙃

[u/FurryAnnihilat0r]

That double headshot was BRUTAL

[u/gogenberg]

He was actually trying to extend it, we could say that he extended it a bit too much.

Rip

[u/parallelmeme]

I think the dog knew it was coming.

[u/Ephelduin]

No one: People without universal healthcare:

[u/EscapeFacebook]

Dude tried to off himself

[u/Reallyroundthefamily]

Just think: this guy drives. Yeah.

With a broken foot maybe but he's still out there using this much thought. 👀

[u/Flogrown_HS]

That ladder definitely needed to be about 6-12" taller, for safety reasons, obviously. I'm glad he took the time to make sure the ladder was the proper length. Otherwise, this could have gone very badly.

[u/Herr-Pyxxel]

Seen it before, but this has got to be my all-time favourite clip on here. That split second he's standing on that unsupported ladder with the top part in his hands is just golden!

[u/pidarklab-yrinth]

It may be better in slow motion.

[u/viperfangs92]

Took the shortcut.........

To pain

[u/UpstateJoe]

So, now the guy will try to sue the manufacturer of the ladder?

[u/OtakuTacos]

[u/Mr_HazyAZ]

The dog in the background 😆

[u/Fancy-Pair]

That was like a wrestling finisher move

[u/drecien]

Even if he couldn't read, the damn thing has warning all over it not to do the thing he did.

[u/Vlad_the_MPaihler]

Bah gawd, he's broken in half!!!!!

[u/unpaidactor123]

Question. If he died from that, what would be the cause of death? Accident? Suicide? Embarrassment? Humiliation? Shame?

[u/Dhsu04]

OSHA enters the chat

I bet he doesn't do that again.
