Death Wish on a ladder

A man using a ladder to carry out re-pointing work clearly had no idea on how to use a ladder safely, although it is a totally inappropriate pioece of access equipment for the job in hand.

He was caught by a reader somewhere in the UK while working on very grand building, the man definitely has a Death Wish.

How this ladder remains upright is a mystery

The ladder is propped against a brickwork reveal and inclined at a seemingly impossible angle. Perhaps he imagines that he will have a soft landing, if he lands in the hedge. However if you look closer the hedge conceals steel railings!

A closer view shows the person's grip on the life

He might also end up in the street as well of course, given the grand nature of the building one assumes that the owner could justify and afford some more appropriate and efficient access equipment?
