I watched these guys yesterday. I know that most commercial extension ladders have a load limit of 250lbs. That's me and my toolbelt, when I worked construction. That is not a commercial ladder, and the angle is too shallow. Before this picture was taken, he hiked up the ladder with a full spool of cable, tied the cable end off all the way up at the cross arms of the previous pole, then brought the spool back down. Couldn't just unroll it on the ground and take the cable end up. Had to carry the extra 60 lbs to the top.

I asked my wife if she remembered her CPR. She said, "Nope!"

And look at the flex in that ladder!! It makes the possibility of a kick out at the bottom even worse!! When I have had some oddball situations where I have had to put the ladder at a shallow angle, I've used a car to keep it from going anywhere.
