that wouldnt have happened if you had took your time and set the ladders properly

did you have spikes, they usually stop that happening , mine slip on gravel now and again depends whats underneath if its concrete, you gotta be careful, if its soil just kick them in

Good your okay though

If you have to use ladders and the floor is slippery, use a laddermate. Great piece of kit, use mine every time even if the ground is bone dry, level etc. Gives you four areas of contact instead of just two and the ladders can't slip away. {Thanks to a certain Mr Dolby for advice a while ago}
