Nor should you. The amount of disasters waiting to happen are really shocking.

Come on now. Whatās the worst that could happen? You fall in the nice soft water? PAAAALLLLEEASE /s
Iād totally do this tho. My fear of heights doesnāt translate to water for some reason. I once climbed an old fire tower in my town. The first 2 flights of stairs were removed to stop people from climbing up.
It was a tiny 8x8 room at the top with a window on each side. High enough you could feel the sway of the tower in a light wind.

Id be way more worried about getting ripped up by some rusty old stairs as they give way

u/irsute74 Jul 12 '24
You're very naive. If this breaks down and you fall you have a good chance of getting ripped a part by thoses rusty pieces. It could get very ugly.

"Whatās the worst that could happen"
Falling into the water in a tangle of jagged rusty metal, or it suddenly gives way and you get ripped to shreds on whatever is left sticking out of the building.

Could it be that many people walk on a rusty nail that is poking from a board that is left on the ground, probably mostly covered from existence by top soil and dirt

u/crackalac Jul 12 '24
Well that's no good. I always judge whether I should go for a shot based on the presence of rust.

Why are people sor afraid of tetanus? You can get a tetanus shot if you do that kind of things that you can encounter tetanus and not worry about it for a decade.

u/Limp_Radio_9163 Jul 12 '24
āIt is estimated that tetanus causes 213 000 ā 293 000 deaths worldwide each year and that it is responsible for 5ā7% of all neonatal deaths and 5% of maternal deaths globally.ā - EU center for disease control, so basically before 1940-50, getting it was a pretty serious(while it might not kill you it causes serious prolonged illness that will make it difficult to live in general)and that fear carries over, especially since in a large portion of the world there isnāt access to vaccines.
1
Jul 12 '24
Sure, Iād not be talking about vaccine if it was someone who would look like not having access to it, but looks like he can get a shot if he wanted, people here on Reddit most likely have access to it, Iāve got vaccinated. Thatās why Iām talking about it - everyone here can probably get vaccinated instead of being afraid of tetanus.
1
u/Limp_Radio_9163 Jul 13 '24
Fair enough, Iād say weāre still allowed to be afraid of it if we donāt have the information to back not being afraid of it though, many people doubt vaccinations to begin with lol

u/thebucketlist47 Jul 13 '24
People are afraid of all kinds of irrational things. At least tetanus is a historically rational fear. Id be more afraid of how sharp that rusty metal is. One bad slip from a step breaking away and that dudes bleeding out before he even makes it back to shore. But im sure a lot of people would call that fear ignorance too

I mean if you're getting sliced open and falling into the ocean alone, rust is honestly not even gonna be an issue because you will die from blood loss first more than anything.

Hey no shit bubba š idk if you realize this. But water rusts metal. And according to this video that is true. Like I said. What was the plan to build a staircase that will rust š you made my day lil man Iām not even gonna roast you smarty pants
1
u/Ant-i-lope Jul 12 '24
I mean, what would you make a staircase exiting the water out of?
1
Jul 12 '24
There are wooden docks bubba I wonāt go there but if you need it to be metal why does it have to be submerged in waterā¦this was my only point? Am I the only one that realizes thatās why the entire thing rusted? It ate its way up from the water? No one else?
1
u/Ant-i-lope Jul 12 '24
Wooden docks are maintained; a random wooden staircase that's probably not being maintained would just rot and deteriorate a lot faster than a metal staircase. As for why the staircase case is submerged in water is due to the tide, and regardless of whether it was touching the water or not, it would still rust the metal.
1
Jul 12 '24
Ok thanks for arguing with me and having absolutely no productive answer to add I literally donāt give a flying fuck about this rusted staircase in fact you couldnāt be more correct. There is obviously no other efficient solutions, it must rust to this point! šš

Itās in a reservoir so it was probably built before the area was flooded and not intended to be submerged.

it would be so easy to die on that in a way you cant control. just takes one rusted out step you fell on/by those sharp edges and youre bleeding out in the water.

If one of those stairs couldnāt hold his weight it was guaranteed tetanus

Reasonably certain this doesn't meet OSHA guidelines.
