Just a funny thought, but ladders about 3 feet tall are significantly more dangerous than the ladders in wind turbines. Not that they are more pants poopingly scary though.

I thought of my original comparison because I had watched that video!!
If elderly would climb wind turbines I guess those numbers would change.
Or if people climbing 3 foot ladders did so in full harness using an ascending device.
I guess I'll have to bump my ladder limit down to 2 feet! ;-)
