Seems like the ladder has a max BMI to me.

You'd be wrong, if a midget got on the ladder but did not exceed the weight limit yet their BMI could be anything. So BMI is meaningless
 
No doubt guy had the ladder up at the wrong angle. Cheap ladders need to be used at a sharp angle, and it's common for folks that aren't comfortable on ladders to put them at an angle that puts too much weight on that joint between the 2 sections. Plus fattiness

Yeah, user error on the shallow angle of the ladder, for sure.

I have used one of those ladders only one of 2 times...I don't fully trust them. I feel like you need to be proficient in their use to properly use them

I used to put mine literally in my front bushes because if I tried to go over them the ladder would be at too low an angle and I'm sure it would either slip at the bottom or snap in half like yours did. At this point I'm too fucking old to be fucking around on ladders so I just decorate what I can reach. Fuck anything over 8 feet.

having them leaning the right direction and angle helps. They also definitely require 2nd set of hands to hold steady unless you have a death wish.

I'd would always tell my FIL to come over and hold the ladder because I'd rather crush him in a fall than my wife.

I don't have a problem getting onto the roof, the front walkway is flat. I have a wide bed in front of the window, though, and apparently I was too far back for the ladder to support my fat ass.

Three points of contact always. Keep body mass in between side rails.
 
I haven't been on a ladder in four years. Why take the risk when you can pay somebody else to do the deed?
