I wouldn't be going up there!

Still - handy for a quick funeral

24 steps @ 10" per step = 20' and that's to the very top of the ladder!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not as high as you think, but without a wall infront of you it feels higher!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a nasty fall from such an height about 15 years ago, I was known after as the stuntman, but that was only after I fell into an open service pit

I walked away brused but unhurt, people have died from lower falls.

We`ve just rewired the lighting in a church used to be 8ft fluorescents running down the side, now 150w M/H floods lighting the main church area with 70w and 150w projectors lighting the stained glass windows. Look`s absolutely fantastic (and picked up work off parishioners as a result)

I remember something about the fact that most injuries as a result of a fall from height are from < 3'

may be something to do with the higher you are, the longer you have to get yourself prepared to land. obviously, too high and that may not work
