       A safety reminder to anyone who needs to hear itDo NOT climb a ladder in *thongs or crocsDo NOT climb a ladder in the rainDo NOT climb a ladder alone, in the rain, on concrete, wearing crocsI'm looking in particular at you, men in their 50s on up.This PSA brought to you by a panicked onlooker who has spent months tending a patient (as a family member, I'm not a doctor) with the kind of injuries you get from doing this, and who was told by more than one neuro surgeon and trauma specialist that they'd like to see ladders banned outright.*thongs, ie slippers, slip ons, slides, zorries, flip flops, jandals etc

       @keira_reckons  this is timely - I fell from a ladder this week. I've accessed my roof space with this ladder dozens of times, but this time I didn't set it up properly and it slipped and fell away beneath me. I managed to catch myself on the manhole, so didn't fall, but it was a wake-up call.

       No one fell off the ladder.But you know, don't do this stuff. You don't want a brain injury if you can avoid it.
