Nasty Kev! Can happen so easy.
How did it collapse? Did a clip give way or was it just not locked correctly? -
🙁 oh that sounds awful Kevin. Take care of yourself and I hope your injury heals without any lasting damage.

Ouch!
I hope you will be feeling better soon.
I have one collapsible stand which seems to have a vendetta.
We need to start a UKSB Hospital Ward.

Got one of those ladders too. Complete pain in the rear. Hope the wrist heals well and doesn’t impact business to much.

Cheers for all of the support guys, hand at the moment is pretty useless apart from use as a door stop weighs a ton. Had to wait for specialist surgeon so been off work already longer than i would like but good friends & sign makers who i supply print too have stepped up to the mark. Haven’t investigated the ladder yet going in too the workshop tomorrow

I was in a cast for 3 months with a broken wrist many years back. I learned to letter left handed for most of the bigger lettering. The small stuff I screen printed.
I’ve owned 2 "Little Ladders" for about 15 years now. There’s nothing like them. Don’t accept cheap imitations.
