Hey buddy, just read your comments. First of all, no; you are not overstepping your bounderies lol, the whole point of this site is to discuss things exactly like that. So anyway, I've never seen/heard/used a ladder leveler; but you do now have me interested in what exactly it is and hot it works. Secondly, I really dont think a persons weight has much to do with how they climb a ladder. Sure its windy and dark and rainy sometimes when were on those ladders but I think it would be just as easy for a 300 pound man to fall off a ladder as it would be for your wife. Firefighting is a dangerous job that will ALWAYS be dangerous. We have come a long way in safety but it will always be dangerous.
