When you rotate the gutter as instructed you will be standing away from the gutter. We do recommend that you wear a hat and safety glasses as an extra precaution because stuff will be falling and blowing out of your gutter as you rotate it. When water runs into the gutter or when the gutter is full, all the weight is concentrated at the bottom center of the gutter. Because gravity causes this weight to be pushing straight down, the gutter cannot roll over. When filled with ice and snow the gutter cannot be rotated.

Tilt 'N Clean gutters can hold in excess of 25 pounds per foot. These Gutter Guards secure the gutter to the supports and have been tested to withstand winds in excess of 100 mph. My gutters are constantly being damaged when I lean a ladder against them. No, because your ladder never leans against the Tilt 'N Clean Gutter. Merely rotate the Tilt 'N Clean Gutter and it is out of the way of your ladder.
