Yes, I would check that there wasn't anyone up the ladder balancing a pot of paint or bucket of water before walking underneath!

Don't fret VQ, it's all a load of nonsense( but check for any falling objects first!) hold onto a lucky rabbits foot while you go under the ladder though,as long as the rabbit doesn't mind of course.
It's ok as long as you walk back under the same ladder to undo the bad luck
I'm about as superstitious as the next person in that I knock on wood, throw spilled salt over my shoulder and avoid walking under ladders.
We're having some work done on the house and today the scaffolders came. They've erected the scaffold at the back in such a way that I have to walk under a ladder each time I go out of the back door. So here's a chance to see if it really is bad luck to walk under a ladder. The scaffolding will be in place for around two weeks. In that time I will have no choice but to walk under it several times a day. If my world falls apart then it will provide evidence for the superstition. If all goes on as normal then it will provide evidence against the superstition.
