Doh! QVC Salesman Demonstrates Ladder, Busts Ass

By Chuck Cage

This is one of those moments that you just don’t want to laugh at because you know damn well that you’re next if you do. But hey – if you’re going to demonstrate a ladder on TV,why not avoid climbing so far above the top of the ladder and use both hands when you’re decending?

It’s just a suggestion.

That’s a classic. I also like this reporter crushing grapes from a local Atlanta station (I want to meet the guy who constructed the unsafe platform):

If you think they’re dangerous with ladders, see what they do with swords!
