Used to climb up a ladder onto my roof 20 years ago. Can’t do it in confidence nowadays. Would need it to be a life and death solution to get me up there now. Seen and heard of too many folks with broken limbs, skulls, and death after those maneuvers.
Veteran MLB cather Bo Diaz was crushed to death by a satellite dish antenna while trying to repair it on the roof of his house. Again, instead of hiring somebody who knew how to do it.

The father of one of my neighbors was in his 60s and still working as a construction manager. He was on a ladder (if I recall correctly, he was only up a couple of rungs) when he fell and landed on the foundation wall of the building they were constructing. Broke his back and wound up in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down.
