I've seen these things advertised occasionally through the years. I
can't imagine how anyone without a death wish would ever consider
climbing up that extension.

Isn't there some kind of "ladder association" or agency or something
that set's ladder safety standards? I always see all kinds of
instructions, proper use and warnings on ladders ..... no step, proper
angle etc, etc.  I can only guess that this one has one message on
it.

If you're stupid, use this ladder.
