No and the iron one doesn't even look parallel to the stair.

Seems to lack continuity.

Is that an optical illusion?

That hand rail is fine Michael.

You are correct M Larson, I am sitting here at the base of the stairs waiting for clients and it is not parallel.

Doesn't it depend on the length of the person's arms and grip strength while falling?
