But if your halfway careful you can easily use every step of the ladder. And FWIW, the only time I have fallen off a ladder is when I tried to overreach halfway up a 12' ladder. Plenty of space above and below for bracing. I just lost my balance. The point is, you can fall off of any ladder at any time. Anything can break at any time. Even the gear that the top flying people in the country use has the potential (abet a small one) to fail spontaneously and randomly, due to tiny, non-detectable visually problems in the alloy. Pretty much the entire exercise is minimizing risk, and thats probably why they dont want you on a chain hoist. It minimizes the risk.
