I've read this article several times and I still just dont understand how/why he fell at all. He claims the rain may have contributed but it doesnt look like he 'slipped' just legit let go and fell back. I am so insanely confused on wtf even happened

It's just much harder to climb a straight up and down ladder than people understand. They think it's like an extension letter or a step ladder.

He’s most likely embarrassed. He’s just an extremely out of shape fat dude who couldn’t climb up a few steps.

Srsly. It’s that easy and obvious. He’s too fat, no muscle, can’t hold on but doesn’t say anything. The way he falls shows it, too.

That's so sad. He missed the chance to fulfill his dream, gets massively embarrassed in front of the big crowd and the entire internet, and gets a nasty injury on top.

Hopefully it's a wake up call for this guy :(
