Video Refusing to board due to a pilot ladder not rigged correctly

This lady came into port in an excellent day, however when I inspected the pilot ladder prior to board I saw that it was rigged using D-Shackles fastened between the side ropes, transferring all the weight and load of the ladder to the clamps and chokes.

But still, I have to admit that I am way behind the new guys in this important issue.
