        I’ve genuinely considered moving there.

        They have a radio station, and it’s run by the chillest guy ever. Just playing tunes, and chatting between.

    8 seconds in freefall from 1000ft. Longer if you hit solid things on the way rolling down.

    Also, if you bring air resistance into it, nationality will affect outcome.

    A little rail cart on a winch would work quite nicely.

      That’s basically what Angels Flight in Los Angeles is. Locals got sick of walking up the fuck off steep hill and built a 300 foot rail to go up and down it.

    At first I thought “wow, really? Only 8 seconds?”

    Count out 8 full seconds in your head.

    Now imagine you’re being hit by young teenagers with baseball bats.

    8 seconds is a LONG time

    My irrational fear of heights would cause me paralysis on these stairs. It happened in a train station that had plexiglass walls around the stairs. It felt too open and I crouched uncontrollable fear as my partner tried to console me. A cop came to see what was wrong and d that was the thing that motivated me to push through and make it the rest of the way.

      It’s not irrational at all. Falling from heights hurts. I’m afraid of being hurt (including from heights). It makes perfect sense.

      I feel you. I also have that fear, and one time we went to a local opera house that has very steep balconies. When you are walking down the stairs to your seat, it seriously feels like you can fall to your death if you wobble or trip. I needed my husband holding my hand and his constant reassurance just to make it to our seats. Didn’t get up the whole intermission and then high-tailed it out of there. Never again.

        I feel that way in some sports stadiums. Like… I can intellectually recognize that hundreds of thousands of people use these stairs without incident every year. But it does not feel that way in the moment.

      I have to do a double-take every time I try to go on a boring, run of the mill down escalator. (I’m perfectly fine going up.) It’s like I’m waiting for vertigo that never quite comes, just threatens.

    Fun fact, there is a stairway like this but so much more run down near me. It’s known locally as the Jacob’s Ladder, it’s under the Forth Rail Bridge and it’s actually terrifying but it’s the quickest way between the station and the Pier.

        I feel safer on that one than the one at Queensferry. Behold.

        Every other step? Rotten. Parts of the Handrail? Broken. The steps? Uneven. The Alternative? A winding road that takes you out into the country or a walk into the village.
