  1.  @pengos1639  I think that it made a bit of sense as it can be a challenge to find people with stairs willing to let you film a short segment in their houses, especially if they aren't 100% confident in their stairs and don't have the money to fix them right away.

  2. That's sort of the point, you could have dangerous stairs in your own home. You need a proper railing and ideally one that's strong enough to catch yourself with if you start to slip. The treads need to be clear and provide enough texture to prevent slips, each step should be of a uniform height and depth, and ideally, they should be wide enough for whatever you're planning to bring up or down the stairs.

  4. To be fair, he's probably an expert on more than just safe staircases, he's probably more of a safety expert on architectural matters.

  5. TBH, I don't understand why townhouses exist. It's not just the bit of extra danger or the exhaustion, but those stairs take up a bunch of floor space. I'm so glad that the place doesn't have staircases in the units. One staircase can be shared by the 6 units with the wasted space being kept to a minimum and being shared between the units. Rather than each unit having to have it's own internal staircase to allow access to the rest of the unit.

  6. Yes, although from what I see, making the railings a bit higher would be possible without scrapping the entire stairs or radically changing their look.

  7.  @Countryballs_Animation_Studios  That's a real problem at firehouses due to the sleeping quarters commonly being on the 2nd floor. You can still put a rail up and around it to make it less likely that you'll fall down the hole prematurely.

  8. The fix for that is increasing the traction on the steps. Depending on the situation, carpeting the steps can help, so can adding grippy adhesive pads to it to increase traction.

  9. That would be a "fall expert" this is a "stair expert" as in somebody that knows about stairs.

  10.  @レックウザさん  Presumably, given that the comment was setup like that time Peter setup a cutaway gag.

  11. Not really, it usually happens either because you misjudge the step or the steps aren't even.

  12. I'm pretty sure that most women would appreciate a good "stare lift."
