it is just an inherent risk with this type of ladders, not specifically this brand.

I bought one of these 15 years ago when I built my house. Thought I was being clever getting a step ladder that's an extension ladder. All the contractors working there thought I was crazy (I should have asked them for advice before I bought it)
The damn thing is so heavy that it's dangerous to use as an extension ladder unless you have two strong adults on hand to slowly and carefully get it into place. As a stepladder its very stable but, once again, so heavy and bulky that it's a huge pain to move.
Mine almost never leaves my shed at this point.
If you REALLY REALLY want this type of ladder they are good quality, I wouldn't worry about Little Giant vs Gorilla etc.

Since I purchased one back in 2019, I have only used it a handful of times, and I dread using it because of how heavy and awkward it is. If my 8ft fiberglass step ladder is too short for the job, I literally think twice if I REALLY need to do what I was planning on doing before taking this beast out.
For price comparison, I purchased the 26ft one with leg levelers back in 2019 for $250. The same ladder is now available for $380. So for this 17ft one, if you can get it for $100ish, it's a great deal, if you want it vs a step ladder and an extension ladder separately.
Wish I knew what to get that is lighter and as versatile. I don't think there is anything.
