Had a cutterhead jam on the Columbia River that nearly bent the ladder

We were pulling up old logging debris and a massive root ball just locked everything up solid. Ever had to reverse the flow under pressure to clear something like that?

My last jam bent more than the ladder.

Actually, a good jam shouldn't bend the ladder at all. That usually means the bale was wound way too tight. You want it firm but still a little springy when you press on it.
