Steps designed to make it safer to ascend to a roof are in realty a death trap

 Meet the weirdest set of steps I have ever seen to ascend and descend  from a buildings roof .

Known as Lapeyre  alternating steps 

These steps are to be gone up and down facing forward ? Yes you read that correctly 

You face forward to go up and down them. which is total Bull shit unlike regular steps you can hold your balance and know where the steps are as you go up and down on these steps forget it and if they get wet they are a total death trap and will cause you to slip and fall

Plus getting off and on the roof is now more difficult  I don't know how OSHA ever approved these steps to be installed in buildings and plants 

Yet study's claim they are safer over traditional stairs I call Bull Shit i know several tradesman hurt on these things maybe when the manufacturer gets sued out of business some one will get the message
