Road Runner Posted September 7, 2014 Share #6 Posted September 7, 2014 Yes, thanks. But our steps are aboot as eville as running or Botox. So you fell on your steps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted September 7, 2014 So you fell on your steps? Yup! I would say it is the beginning of old age, but my 20 something daughter has also busted her coccyx on them, so she is the one who informed me that they are in fact eville. So since my bones are getting old and potentially fragile, I have resolved to always use the handrail from now on, but I wonder if that can truly save one from a fall, or will it just cause additional trauma by twisting one's arm out of the socket? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted September 7, 2014 Share #10 Posted September 7, 2014 Yup! I would say it is the beginning of old age, but my 20 something daughter has also busted her coccyx on them, so she is the one who informed me that they are in fact eville. I'm glad you weren't hurt too bad. Are these the steps going into your house? Maybe they can be modified or reconstructed to make them safer? Sounds like a possible design flaw if more than one person has fallen in the same manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share #11 Posted September 7, 2014 Interior steps to the 2nd story. They are just normal steps, two flights of aboot 8. I think the carpet is just a tad slippery, I'll have to google for solutions. brb! These don't look half bad. I was in bare feet, so those and socks have to be the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted September 7, 2014 Share #13 Posted September 7, 2014 I was watching an old TV show the other day and the villian killed the old guy by pushing him down the stairs. It seems that in Hollywood, falling down the stairs is always fatal. It might be advisable to be very nice to WoMotu and never piss her off when you are on or near the stairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted September 7, 2014 Share #26 Posted September 7, 2014 Have a carpenter come look at them. I suspect either the rise / tread ratio is not acceptable or one is a slight amount different than the other. Lots of people fall fr smaller things.

I think it might be that the carpet is 28 years old and therefore a tad matted. Getting better slowly, SQ! Didn;t really ride this weekend because of it.
