    Beautiful!

    But I'm pretty sure the ladder sections are not supposed to be extended that far.

    The handrails should still be continuous even when fully extended (for safety, especially when carrying a victim back down the ladder). The increased overlap also greatly improves the strength/rigidity of the extended ladder.

    Notice how far up from the bottom the bottom section is supported on the truck...
