Re: Whats more dangerous ?
Easy.Ladders by a short head. On average only 2 or 3 people die each year from snake bites (usually in the bush where they are too far from a hospital and the antidote, mind you there were 6 deaths in 2013)
"Ladders were the most common cause of the falls – both for fatalities and serious injuries.
In the eight years from 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2011, 37 workers died following a fall from a ladder. The reason for the fall was only known in 20 of the incidents but half occurred either while the worker was climbing up or down the ladder or were due to over-balancing on the ladder."
Well that's that.
