A safety reminder to anyone who needs to hear it

Do NOT climb a ladder in *thongs or crocs
Do NOT climb a ladder in the rain
Do NOT climb a ladder alone, in the rain, on concrete, wearing crocs

I'm looking in particular at you, men in their 50s on up.

This PSA brought to you by a panicked onlooker who has spent months tending a patient (as a family member, I'm not a doctor) with the kind of injuries you get from doing this, and who was told by more than one neuro surgeon and trauma specialist that they'd like to see ladders banned outright.

*thongs, ie slippers, slip ons, slides, zorries, flip flops, jandals etc
