According to principles of the present inventive concepts, various improvements to a ladder safety device are provided. In one embodiment, a simplified attachment mechanism can be provided where an angled leg bracket is aligned with and then permanently affixed to base bracket. The base bracket may include sidewalls to bracket around opposite sides of a ladder leg. An attachment mechanism of the ladder safety device may removably attach to the ladder through rung holes already present in the ladder using alignment tubes, one of which is threaded to receive a bolt. In other embodiments, the attachment mechanism may comprise an inner and outer mount configured to securely sandwich the ladder leg between the mounts. Enlarged foot pads, leg extensions, level mounts, and other accessories may also be provided to further improve the ladder safety device.
