Hello, I just wanted to write you real quick. I recently purchased a Werner-MTIAA-Aluminum-22-ft-Reach-Type-1AA-375-lbs-Capacity-Telescoping-Multi-Position-Ladder from Lowe's Home Improvement store. I paid $178 and was very excited to have a versatile utility ladder that could meet all my personal needs. I purchased it on July 25th, 2018; not two months yet. So far I've only used it for two things: getting into my attic through the man hole in our garage ceiling and for installing some directional antennas on the side of our house for our 4G wireless internet. Today, I was very disappointed, a little scared, and injured on the ladder from Werner and can't believe something like this would happen on a practically brand new ladder... I had to remove the antennas I had previously installed because we decided to go a different route with our internet services. So I brought the ole ladder around the house, opened it out all the way straight and ensured the clips locked in place, and then I extended the telescoping on each side equally to achieve the desired height I needed. I am always a little nervous on ladders because I've heard and read lots of horror stories, my brother in law actually had a close friend who passed away from falling off a ladder. So I made sure that everything was used properly on your ladder, everything was locked in place, and the C clamps from the telescoping part were secured inside the holes for my desired height. I got almost to the top of the ladder as I began to feel something give and then completely release. The aluminum metal broke and bended at one of the ends where the telescoping part comes out. It's kinda hard to explain through a message so I took pictures. I was lucky that I was able to fall over to the right side where there was nothing in the way like the wooden fence on my left. I fell about 10-12ft from the ladder but I only came out with missing a small chunk of flesh from my right thumb as it caught on the metal whil
