I bet somebody would try that one :-)
Love the youtube clip - especially about the Irish - 'us first - in pubs - but we live in pubs' lol
You can still sue the manufacturer of the ladder, because the ladder doesn't refuse untrained or drunken people!
ROFL
It get's even funnier than that - school teachers in England have to be given 'training' on climbing step ladder rofl We can't go above two steps on the ladder without training.
We really have gone mad!
I think this guy pretty much sums up what's wrong ....
Enjoy!

OMG.. You got to be kidding me. Brit why are you wasting your life working hard here, go slip on a grape or a watermelon for bigger compensation :P
Elf & Safety gone barking mad. In addition, people too willing to sue. Last week a teacher was awarded 300k for slipping on a grape :O(
WTF.. kind of funny though..
Pitiful. This is why we do a risk assessment.
in the same thread for additional discussion
