A good way to check if a Straight ladder is setup correctly is to place your feet at the base of the ladder and extend your arms. Your hands should touch the rails of the ladder. If your hands extend past the ladder, it is too steep. If you cannot reach the ladder, it is too shallow.

Correct the situation immediately. Improperly setup ladders can cause serious falls.
