Robert,
I am the guy that fell using the
LADR-LEG-LEVEL. I had them analyzed and it was determined that the aluminum on
the shaft is inferior. They started making these things with steel instead of
aluminum after my accident.
I'm a paraplegic and in a lot of
pain every day because of the accident. I'd be careful about altering the shaft
by filing it down. If you have an accident after tampering with the way they are
made, the court will say it's YOUR fault!
Are yours made of steel or
aluminum?
Sincerely,

Subject: [World] Ladder Slip
I was wondering what caused that
ladder to slip on the guy who said he fell from the ladder which slipped on
him (he was hurt badly) the ladder was LADR-LEG-LEVEL. For some time it has
puzzled me. Well I have a LADR-LEG-LEVEL on my 6? and it started slipping and
so I thought it must have oil or soap on it. Well I cleaned it off and it was
the same it still slipped. I took a closer look and I noticed some waves on
the metal cylinder that you push down to meet the ground (leg). I was
wondering if these waves on the cylinder caused it to slip. I then filed them
flat and it stopped it from slipping. So I think that is the reason why he
must have fallen. It must have these waves on it. Is it possible to inspect
the ladder to see if it has them on it?
