youre dead right, so the answer is use a tower. light weight tower up in 20 minutes max, no risk, no planning needed as not up long enough for anyone to give you grief, and a whole lot safer than just yer nikes eh!

Unless this is the only tower you can get!
You can only buy towers like this in Angola.
We have to stack four on top of each other. It is not safe!
The Angolan HSE is far from pleased (there is actually one on Government projects) but what are we supposed to do if these are the only towers available?
We have placed two at the bottom to give a bit more stability...

and we get hounded for the slightest infringement. But I must admit I have taken some crazy risks in the past just to make a buck...triple ladders with doubled ladders as a brace just to clear high gutters where couldnt get any other access etc. Wouldnt dream of it now though... lost too many of my nine lives already, so need to save a few just in case!:D
