Stairs are one of the scariest things on earth. I don’t mean they’re scary for old people, small people, children, or the walking impaired, I mean they’re scary for everybody. Next time you’re walking up stairs, look at how little material there is actually supporting you. It’s probably not more than a foot. I was walking up some stairs the other day (which is one of the most useless things you’ll ever hear. It wasn’t today, so it was any other day in existence, that really narrows it down. The reason I’m saying the other day is because at the time I’m writing this, it happened yesterday, but at the time that you read this, it will not have been yesterday and I didn’t think that the date was very important so I said the other day) and I looked at the side and it was really thin and it was only attached to the wall. I was half convinced that the stairs would collapse despite the fact that I’ve walked on them many times. I think I prefer the elevator. (I’ll include a scale drawing to further your knowledge of what I’m talking about).
Sorry it's such a bad image, all you need to know is the narrowest part of the stair is about as long as your longest finger (or mine at least).
