Weight and roof

I crawl on mine when I get up there. I’m not really concerned about the weight itself but more so about psi and TPR membrane damage. I would not do it. Watch out for that ladder. It may not be secured that well and a fall from there is guaranteed brain damage.

I used to remove shoes, watches, rings and belts before crawling around on mine.

Rule of thumb: the less you get on a roof (any roof), the less problems you will have.

I have the same model and I wouldn’t do it. I am a big guy 6”5 and 240lbs and I don’t even feel secure on in there to reseal. I am sure you are probably okay but you never know if you have a weak spot or you put a chair or person in just the wrong spot.
