1. That is really brave or really stupid.

9. I can see it slipping off his hands and cracking him in the face.
Or at least that is what would happen to me.

19. What are you talking about? It's perfectly safe!
See, he's got his knees bent. If he were straight-legged, I could see your concern but the way he has that one leg bent and placed slightly forward? He's got it all under control. So what if he's got to support that entire ladder using no more than the palms of his hands. My palms are like steel, aren't everybody's?

22. There is not enough money to get me on that ladder
That cement looks real hard.

Look at the two guys in the back, they not ready to jump in if necessary.

23. They are there to yell jump if the guy holding it slips.
And cement is usually hard. It hardens like a rock. :P

24. I bet if you talked to the guys they would say we do this all the tiime, it's safe.
I wonder how he lowers the ladder for the guy up top to get off.

I would pay to see that.

and drops the ladder.

28. They are actually acrobats in the circus, and do this stuff all the time.





This is just their "off-season" job.




Maybe.
