Here we have a tribute to those brave souls who looked at a perfectly normal height and said: “Nope, higher.” These photos capture the exact moments when humans decided gravity was merely a suggestion and ladders were meant to reach the moon. You’ll witness people stacking ladders on (yes) ladders and balancing like they’re auditioning for a circus nobody asked for.
Every image is a yell to questionable ambition: workplace safety thrown directly into the trash and folks who clearly believed they were immortal. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, and you may involuntarily yell: “GET DOWN FROM THERE!” like the responsible adult you’ve become.
So step in, hold your breath, and enjoy this gallery of sky-high nonsense. Because sometimes the job gets done… and sometimes the job nearly sends you to the ER.
