Just returned this hour from a relevant stone steps experience at an event
at a historic church in
downtown Victoria.   A great crowd of hundreds entered the church in a mass
of humanity moving at once up the well worn and massively irregular 130 year
old stone front steps.  There were no incidents even though most were old
men (and women too, Ken).

When departing after the event, with the same mass of humanity moving all at
once, I took a new side exit with new stone steps precisely built to the
modern Code.   Near me, a lady tripped on them and was caught by her
neighbours.   She exclaimed that her shoe caught on one of the steps.

So there!

Irregular good!
Regular bad!

(Liability bad!)

According to this experiment, 100% more accidents happen on regular steps.
