NFR Tell me why

Non-fishing related
I’ve done stairs like this multiple times on fishing vessels when I don’t have the space for a typical tread layout due to many factors beyond my control. They look more chaotic then they feel when you use them, but the first step at the top definitely seems sketchy if you’re going in blind. Make sure you lead with the correct foot or it all goes to shit lol. I pay extra attention to making sure the handrail is secure in these scenarios for the “oh shit” factor. I’ve never seen stairs like this anywhere I’ve ever traveled except for marine vessels. But it’s crossed my mind before considering what ridiculous things have passed for stairs in some of the places I’ve been.
 
I’ve never heard the term “captains stairs” but a boat captain once called them “acid stairs” so that’s what I like to call them. It makes my day when I get to explain what Acid Stairs are and why I think we should consider it. I’m gonna add the bit about witches for next time too, that’ll be a hit.
 
The stairs are made this way so that it hurts more falling down them.
