Mind Your Step

Mind Your Step


Twenty-four thousand people will injure themselves this winter by slipping on snow and ice. This is a good spot for such an accident. The stairs between the shopping centre and the commuter station in Västerhaninge. At least there is the railing to hold on to.

  1. Yikes! And what if the railing is icy, too?

    My sister fell and broke her hip on ice a couple of years ago. She still walks with a cane!

    Very dangerous!

  6. I was happy to see that the individual was using the railing. If I had to use those stairs on a regular basis, I would attach my YakTrax without hesitation. The steps look very ominous!!

    For the first time we have such difference in climate situations.
    I would like to have snow for a few days!

  8. This looks extremely slippery. I think I'd have chosen a different route.

  10. A brave mountain climber on her way up the stairs (also, a nice photograph.) The first few years that I lived in snow and ice I fell a lot, but have since learned how to walk on it. And wear those pointy things on the bottoms of my shoes!

  12. This stairway would be an excellent target for a pacific use of a flamethrower!

  13. One false step and you're in for the ride of your life down those stairs. Beware!

  14. There's also a bike path here that is equally icy.

    If you are going down the icy railing will make the decent a bit quicker I think Jacob!

    In Haninge the office responsible for this is the Stadsbyggnadsförvaltningen. That's a long word isn't it!

    Thanks J Bar.

    YakTrax is a cheap way to stay away from the emergency room!

    She made it to the top Paul!

    Visst är det så.

    I will pass that idea on to them Mr. Poet!
    I hear you Kostas!
