Brad Manor Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Today I learned that a 90km/h wind gust can topple a ladder... even with 250lbs of home inspector on it. -Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I was just barely up the thing when the wind decided to lay it down. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Note to friends....... Wind force increases exponentially with velocity. As it picks up, danger increases greatly. Be careful out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen D. Gazo Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I fall into that weight catagory. I also think that regardless of the wind gust, my overall shape acts like an airfoil, creating a low pressure area above my head, making me lighter, thereby reducing my total weight, causing an imbalance...and falling off...hope only thing hurt is your pride. Too low for a parachute.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful out there. can't forget inspector age.... ladders and roofs are usually less of a problem for me than old age, the mind is willing the bod just doesn't agree... I don't bounce as good as a few years ago.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Warning Thread Drift Speaking of wind, yesterday the wind was gusting 30 ââ¬â 50 mph. I was walking to the County office to meet the tax appeal board. The courts are in the same building. I walked by 2 working class guys getting out of their pick-up truck and over heard a bit of conversation that made me believe they were headed to court. They had a thick stack of papers in a file drawer folder (the kind with no pockets). I reach the corner and start across the road when I hear these two guys screaming & cussing. I turn around and see papers blowing at 30+mph down the road. Papers were blowing up as high as the 5 story building. One guy was one his hands and knees in the street (almost lying on his belly) trying to hold a pile of papers from getting away. The other guy had his foot on another pile and was trying his hardest to catch the loose papers as they blew away. The wind was so strong it kept lifting papers from the piles the guys were trying to hold down. They were frozen in place because if they moved to try and collect the papers the wind would catch some of them and take them away. There was no saving the situation. It is funny and sad at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
