Full of sheer drops and winding narrow bends you most definitely will need to tread carefully on some of the world’s most dangerous stairs.
A Facebook group, dubbed Death Stairs has become an internet phenomenon with people snapping the scariest stairs across the world.
The unnerving series of snaps is enough to make anyone grip the bannister the next time they make a trip downstairs.
With nearly 850k members and years worth of contributions to the group, it seems the world is full of deadly staircases that will leave you feeling unnerved.
Each photo on the group seems more deadly than the next with harrowing staircases in people’s houses being a regular feature.
“I came across some death stairs in my friend’s new house. They are more like a carpeted ladder”, wrote one person under a set of domestic stairs. Another user simply replied to the post saying, “no thanks”, while another added: “I’d have a panic attack every time I’d have to walk down”.
The accompanying images showed her feet overhanging the narrow stair treads with flip-flops on.
“Least they can fix your teeth when you fall”, wrote one person under a horrifyingly steep set of stairs at a dentist in Amsterdam.
“If you fell off those you’d die instantly,” another person noted on a picture showing a narrow staircase creeping down a mountainside. “Please please please install a handrail.”
“Oh. oh no. I’d need to navigate each step by b**t. I get vertigo from this pic”, said one user who was seemingly rattled by the steep stairs in the upper tier at the 02 arena.
Another was left less then impressed by the horrifying stairs she was greeted with upon arriving at her AirBnb in France. The user said: “This is the stair case that greeted us in an Airbnb in the Midi Pyrenees, France. If we fell there was a glass fronted cupboard to break our fall. The owner said if she knew how old we were she would not have taken our booking.”
In response, one user, who “once broke every bone” in their ankle by “just slipping off a bottom stair at home”, questioned how the dealy stairs are legal adding that they “wouldn’t have stayed and demanded a refund”.
“Recent stay in an airbnb in York nearly ended in a broken neck”, added another user.
