It is traditionally thought to be bad luck.

In real life, there might be a slight danger from objects and materials (e.g. paint) falling from above.

Answer 2: Superstitious people believe that it is very unlucky, as is a black cat crossing your path and walking on cracks in the road and breaking a mirror, but I have done all these things and I'm pretty lucky.

Answer 3: A long time ago, a triangle was considered a symbol of life. A ladder leaning against a wall creates a triangle. So back then, walking through any triangular shape was considered tempting your fate. The triangle may also symbolize the Holy Trinity =]
