I don't know why you call that a risk. A ladder is a ladder, and you either depend on it to support your weight, or you don't.
Now, what is the topic? Is it about the psychology of risk taking, or about the physics of painting a stairwell?
A bit of both. Some people view that picture as a risk, whereas I don't because of the physics of it; that's my psychological process toward that 'risk' (and most other physical 'risks'). It's interesting to see how people view things.
Trouble is most women get hurt doing very simple things; so I don't see now that is being smarter.
It's just more acceptable to be sexist against men, just like it's more acceptable to be racist against white people. Notice few guys making any noise about how sexist this thread is, while if it were about women there'd be a storm...

The worker's comp reports I get from my company lean more toward the men getting hurt more easily. But I wouldn't just say that "most" of one group or the other get hurt doing very simple things.
I've known a couple old maintenance co workers who stand right on the very top of those ladders. I barely make it on the second to last step. I work at a retirement complex, former maintenance worker and let me tell you the times where one of those wheelchairs "graze" my ladder as I'm working... it's not fun.
