I see building code issues, insurance issues, not to mention serious safety issues. Sure they look cool, but are you still going to feel that way after falling off them? I agree.

I can't wait to visit Venice once all the railings are installed along the canals. Nothing like pandering to the lowest common denominator. Sigh, I miss survival of the fittest. Thank God for mini bikes, our last hope. Ah, most remarks are the wonders of a litigious society. I can’t wait to visit Venice once all the railings are installed along the canals.

Who CARES about safety when something looks that good?! I've been in love with the floating staircase since I first laid eyes on one. I'm ashamed to say that the first time I saw one was in the movie The Island, but still, they are awesome. As soon as I have a two story home I really want one. I might have to re-think this when we have children, but until then, don't step off the side. :-) Screw handrails!

I know that that kind of stuff is illegal where I come from. Building codes aren't just to keep you safe but to keep anyone who comes into your home safe i.e. Neighbors, friends, family, police, firefighters etc. Stairs like that would void your home insurance. No real estate agent would be able to sell your house. But they look cool don’t people have building codes? I know that that kind of stuff is illegal where I come from.
