Unrelated, I love those stairs. They seem like a disaster waiting to happen but I love them.
“Seem?”
As an architect this is honestly insane. First rule is to do no harm, but someone obviously is a psychopath, and thats the designer.
There is no way that thin metal can even structurally support a person.
Of course the metal can support a person. It's not like one side is floating in thin air. The way this is constructed, both sides of each step are supported and the metal seems thick enough to support quite a bit of weight.
The only thing that bothers me is that forward/backward motion of the steps would put a lot of strain on the connection to the wall or floor. With normal use, that motion is quite limited though.
I'm quite confident the designer of those stairs used the right thickness for the material used, which you can't judge from a picture.
My concern would be if someone slipped and got their leg wedged between two of the steps
Break grandma's hip in 10 easy steps!
Yeah, I am, without sarcasm, super agile and coordinated. I would love to have these steps. It would be fun for me every time. And I'd feel so safe at the top of my tricky stairs. Unfortunately my wife would never. She'd just be trapped downstairs.
Perfect stairs to your man cave 🙂
Except I'm not a man, and I don't have a cave. I'm a woman, and I have a cage. But it has to be accessible to my wife so she can let me out eventually o_o So again, no agility stairs allowed.
