[Editor: Not only young women, I can attest to that!] đŸ™‚
After analyzing 2,400 young adults, either on the short staircase (52% of whom were women) or the long staircase (29% of whom were women), the researchers discovered eight risky behaviors that the young people practiced:
- not using a handrail
- not watching the stairs while descending
- wearing sandals, flip-flops or high heels
- having a conversation with another person or on a smartphone
- using an electronic device
- keeping hands in pockets
- holding something
- skipping steps
Four men lost their balance on the long staircase, while one woman did so on the short staircase, but all recovered.
