Yes...it's something about transferring ones weight from the sturdy roof to the wobbly ladder that makes me hesitant. Going up is fine....back down is not.

This thing adds stability to the downward part.[/QUOTE]

I do the butt wiggle down to the eave so that my feet are out ahead of me. Then I slide into the ladder rails feet first with my back to the roof. YMMV
