Stay Off the Ladder - Ladder Safety when cleaning gutters!

Before you even think about cleaning out or replacing your home’s gutters by yourself, you might want to think about the safety in climbing up that ladder. Over 90,000 people wind up in emergency rooms every year for ladder-related injuries. No kidding. And more of those injuries were related to gutters than you can count.

From a website that we found, here are some comments about just this situation.

  • Richard Tiedemann writes: Last week I fell about four feet when the ladder slipped, landing on my right side. I had a small concussion, broke four ribs and needed a chest tube, fractured my pelvis and just got home from rehab. Getting around on crutches. I vow to never use an unattended ladder and not to do the high gutters myself. Be safe, be careful, be ever watchful. I could have died or been paralyzed had I landed differently.
  • Sam Donovan writes: Last November the base of the ladder slipped as I was cleaning the 2nd story gutters. First time in 30 years it happened. Still recovering from 7 broken bones.
  • Wayne Kirby writes: Unfortunately my ladder slipped out from under me, and I dislocated my foot and broke my ankle. I consider myself very lucky. I couldn't believe how fast the bottom slipped out and away....no time to react.
  • Joy Leuthard writes: A very close friend's husband, age 64, fell 2 months ago and hit the back of his head causing a hematoma that affected his brain stem. He died the next day. My husband, age 69, fell and only had severe bruising on his back and arm. I am so thankful it wasn’t worse. I’m stunned at how quickly and easy these falls happen - even with seasoned people who have used ladders for years. Don't ever think it will never happen to you.
