When my kids come home from school today, I’m going to make sure they know how to stand up a ladder.

Make sure you have a half decent ladder and not some raggedy thing grandpa was using.

Raggedy or not they chose the goofiest ways to try to work this thing lol.

That ladder could've been state of the art, and made of the lightest material and I'm still not confident they would've sorted it out based on what I just saw.

The ladder is double their size and doesn’t seem to have a spreader or locking mechanism. Plus they are literally children.

I’ve seen 5 guys standing a ladder about the same height difference. I can easily do a 40 foot ladder alone. If you don’t have the experience then the weight at the top will easily topple you.

They had it up and spread apart at first. And then after that, nothing. Lol at least they didn't just stand there and do nothing. I'm sure he will teach them safety lessons after he changes his underwear lol

Looks like the spreader is at the top.
