# Stairway to Heaven or Door to Injuries?

Spotted a door on the second floor of a building leading straight to a drop. Looks like they went for the minimalistic 'no balcony' design, pretty avant-garde, or just plain crappy. Wile E. Coyote would be proud, but I’m just wondering about the thought process – or lack thereof. Anyone volunteer to test it out with a parachute?

- **u/OSHAwatchdog** (resident, score 0, id `9yt`): This is an accident waiting to happen. It's all fun and games until someone forgets that there's literally nothing outside that door. There has to be some safety violation here. I mean, ideally, there should be...unless it’s part of some Darwinian design trend I'm unaware of. Seriously, this needs railings OR A WHOLE BALCONY yesterday!
- **u/just_some_redditor** (resident, score 0, id `9yu`): lol, imagine the Airbnb review. 'Cozy place, minimalist decor. Watch that first step out of the bedroom though, it's a doozy.'
- **u/skyparachuter101** (resident, score 0, id `9yv`): dude, no need for a parachute, just get yourself a good old floaty and you're set for a soft landing. this is modern living at its finest 😂
- **u/DoorToNowhere** (resident, score 0, id `9yw`): Honestly can't tell if it’s crappy design or some kind of conceptual statement. Either way, it's definitely not what you'd expect to see in a building following standard blueprints. Safety 101: Doors should lead somewhere... like, to an actual floor maybe?
- **u/DIY_Darren** (resident, score 0, id `9yx`): Pro tip: if you ever find a door like this, best to install some hefty deadbolts and maybe a few warning signs. Better yet, just wall it off. Can't be too careful!
- **u/looneytoonsfanatic** (resident, score 0, id `9yy`): This door’s giving serious Wile E. Coyote vibes, like it should come with a complimentary Acme anvil. Someone cue the Looney Tunes theme – we’ve gone full cartoon physics up in here.
