The Ladder Jock

About this idea

January 18, 2021, I was on a ladder doing a roof repair when my ladder slid out from underneath me and I went down. When I woke up, I was laying on the frozen concrete with a broken wrist. This put me out of roofing almost immediately. Due to the nature of my injury, I lost full function of my right wrist. So, from that fall I created a safer and more reliable way to use an extension ladder. Thus, the ladder jock was born. according to OSHA, a ladder must not only extend 3 feet above the landing surface, but it must also be attached to that surface. To this day, professionals have used wires, ropes, bungee cords, strips of aluminum and even vinyl siding to attach a ladder to a roof. However, with the roofing Jock we can put those days behind us by simply attaching the ladder directly to the roof while maintaining OSHA compliance.
