Telescoping Ladder FACE OFF! They're Basically the Same... Right?

What happens here

To extend the LionLadder, pull each rung individually from the bottom upwards until it locks into place. The ladder must be extended from the bottom up for proper locking. Once fully extended, the presenter draws attention to the safety warnings. Specifically, a red bar indicates the maximum safe standing height, which is listed as 6.6 feet, despite the ladder extending to 10.5 feet. This discrepancy is highlighted as a significant safety concern. To retract the ladder, press the red buttons on the bottom-most extended rung. The rungs will then collapse downwards in a controlled, 'shock-absorber' like motion. The presenter expresses concern that if these buttons are accidentally pressed while someone is on the ladder, it could lead to a sudden and unsafe retraction.

Goal: Properly extend and retract the LionLadder while understanding its safety limitations.

but it ratchets up from the bottom and you got to go from the bottom up right there one thing I do like about this ladder it gives you lots of warnings right here it has a red bar right here you don't want to step beyond that red bar on this ladder it's interesting that red bar has pretty high up there and then I read the warning label down here and it said do not stand above 6.6 feet which is pretty unusual because this is way above 6.6 feet so that's kind of interesting but this ladder itself it has two mechanisms right here the the push buttons that you push with your thumbs to release the ladder but I'll put it all the way up and I'm going to show you something about this ladder which is kind of unusual you got to go from you know from bottom up now once I get up here you know it's a little difficult to extend extend the ladder up but it does have these red buttons right here which is kind of unusual the extend climb doesn't have that you push those buttons and the ladder goes down it goes down kind of like a shock absorber on a car so you push these two buttons the concerning thing with me is if you push these two buttons and this ladder goes down if somebody accidentally walks by and hits those buttons where they get hit and you're on the ladder is just gonna start ratcheting down on your lap while you're on the ladder the things ratchet is all the way up see I can't I can't Ratchet it up and there so I've got to somehow get it up now I've got it up there looks like it might be stable here's something kind of cool I do like this about this ladder if you push these the thumb buttons right there it all just starts coming down all by itself unlike the extend climb ladder which is really difficult the thumb buttons are very difficult to push it's very difficult to ratchet back down but this whole shock absorber mechanism I'm not sure if I would really trust that thing hits and I don't know what's holding it up inside there's nothing really positive locking on the outside so I'm not sure so we'll ratchet it back up show you it does drag so it does drag down here when it's leaving some scratches on the rails already will ratchet this down so I'm just learning how to use this thing but it did seem like it did it stayed up in the up position if I go from bottom up it stays down so let me see if at all it's kind of unusual now if I undo the bottom two rungs will it stay locked up top it does not stay locked up top but I can Ratchet it up because I already got…
