Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods and devices providing fall protection for movable sections of extension ladders via a ladder brake engaging the halyard.

A brake device comprising: a brake receiver pivotally supported in a non-rotatable manner on the drive shaft and including a flange part and a boss part; a female screw member pivotally supported in a rotatable manner on the drive shaft and screwed to a male screw part; a ratchet wheel including ratchet teeth provided on an outer peripheral side and configured to restrict a rotation direction to one direction; a brake plate arranged between the ratchet wheel and at least one of the flange part and the female screw member; and at least one pawl member engaging, on a tip side, with a valley part located between adjacent ratchet teeth, and meshing with the ratchet tooth, wherein the ratchet teeth include tall teeth and short teeth lower in projection height from a rotation center of the ratchet wheel than the tall teeth.
