    Just because you saw Jim Adler "The Texas Hammer" do it on TV doesn't mean it's a good idea. I'd be willing to bet they built up reinforcements underneath the roof of that trailer just so that he could stand on it.

    I doubt it. The mechanics are all the time on the roofs of trailers patching holes in them. No, not just leaning over on a ladder, but full weight walking around up there.
