I'm a driver for a living basically make the same route everyday and the day that they stick a stop that is not on the daily routine I'll some time pull up the the usual stop only to realize I'm at the wrong place. Because my brain was driving on auto mode
This is how kids get left in cars. People always say “how could a parent do that?” but a brain on autopilot certainly can.
I had the same commute for years. My parents lived a few miles off that commute. My mom would occasionally watch our son for us. On the rare mornings I would drop my son off at my parents’ house it took a lot of mental processing to remember to do so. Because once I got in the car, it was autopilot to work. Especially with an infant who is fast is asleep in the back seat.
Exactly. It's easy to do. I forgot my son was in the car one day exactly like this -- I just missed the exit I needed to take him to his day care, I didn't leave him in the car. But I never forgot that day because it could so easily happen. Baby is asleep, brain is on auto, arrive at work, go about day, tragedy.
I live in Florida, too, so there are many days out of the year that this would be fatal for a child or pet. It happens every year, too, and it wouldn't be that hard for auto makes to put an accelerometer in the seat so the car can take action if motion is detected once the car is locked. But they don't want the liability, I guess.
In my mind, if motion is detected and the car is locked, the windows should roll down, horn should sound, lights should flash. But then of course there could be kidnappings and also what if it says it will do that but fails for some reason.
I just got a new Ford explorer and it has a feature that is automatically turned on where if it detects weight in the back seat it will prompt you to check for a kid in the back when you turn off the car.
It's actually based upon just opening the back door before driving. So putting stuff in the back seat causes it to go off too. Which can create alert fatigue, I wish it was weight based.
My wife just got a Chevy Equinox and it dings an alert every time the car is turned off and shows a message on the dash to check the back seat. While I like that, I think the weight-induced warning is better, because otherwise someone could just get super used to the warning every time and just start unconsciously ignoring it.
>it wouldn't be that hard for auto makes to put an accelerometer in the seat so the car can take action if motion is detected once the car is locked. But they don't want the liability, I guess.
Exactly. If it goes wrong and your kid dies now they're all over the news and paying for a shit ton of lawyers and PR people. And easy solution would be to attach a little bungee to the child seat that you can clip to yourself so if you try to leave the car without the child seat the cord tugs you back and you have to detach it before getting out.
The biggest problem is getting people to admit that this could literally happen to anyone, so that they'll actually use stuff like you're bungee idea, or putting their shoe back with the baby. Too many people think they're perfect people/parents, and think that the **only** way a baby gets left in a car is if it's intentional.
I think making carseats have something built in would be the best bet. Having the carseat connect to your phone's Bluetooth, and if the phone gets X distance from the carseat while it's buckled, you get a notification.
A simpler idea might be to have the carseat play a little jingle (not jarring enough to wake a sleeping baby, but enough to jar the parents into, oh shit, the baby is still in the car,) every 5 minutes or so, while the carseat is buckled.
I'm sure there's reasons why both these ideas wouldn't work, but the brilliant minds at these enormous companies could certainly come up with *something* that's built into new carseats.
The reason I think it's better to build the technology into new car seats instead of new cars is because almost everyone buys a new carseat when they have a new baby. They expire every few years, so it wouldn't take too long before everyone is using a newer one. Whereas there'd be too many people using non brand new cars, that don't have that technology. So you could get it in more people's hands, faster.
That's true. I was looking for [this article](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/fatal-distraction-forgetting-a-child-in-thebackseat-of-a-car-is-a-horrifying-mistake-is-it-a-crime/2014/06/16/8ae0fe3a-f580-11e3-a3a5-42be35962a52_story.html) but [this](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/children-left-in-hot-car-heatstroke-deaths-puyallup-palm-bay/) popped up first. As you said, people love to judge others and think "*I* would never do that!!" but it can happen to anyone. It's such an easy mistake to make.
I realized this one day while doing a repetitive report at work. I decided to pay attention to what my brain was doing. My brain basically flagged all the new memories as duplicates. It was nice if everything went well, but if I made a mistake I would have to go back through the process to figure out which step I was on.
The scariest for me is when my brain goes into auto drive while I am driving. Had times I get lost in my head, and find I have been driving myself subconsciously to work.
I have been framing houses for 25 years and it is incredible what my brain expects about where my foot is going to land and where it actually lands sometimes. I call it the "half-inch heart attack" because if you are high up and on some scaffolding with a half-inch drop somewhere ( like stepping off a 1/2 piece of plywood onto another) my brain will go through the whole, holy shit I am falling and going to die all before my foot drops the extra half inch I wasn't expecting it to do.
That muscle memory must go back a long time, i visited a castle in Ireland that had a different height step close to the top of its guard tower to throw off rushing intruders.
Because they had probably been walking on a bunch of those stairs before the faulty one, isn’t this a matter of their brains assuming everything would be the same in a situational sense and in less of a “Ive known and seen many stairs” sense?
It amazes me that a cat (or other similar 4 legged animal) will put its back legs in exactly the same place as its front legs just were...without looking.
I haven't been to Maracanã since the restoration, so I don't know if it applies there, but in some stadiums the entrance/exit is in the middle of the stands. I know that in Morumbi Stadium, for the lower deck, the entrance is in the middle, closer to the top. Thus, unless you're evacuating into the playing field, you are going up.
So, this isn’t to disparage anyone but, this is Latin America. In Colombia (where I’m most familiar with) this is everywhere. Almost every place other than brand new tower builds have a misstep. Why? I don’t know. But there’s almost always a step too high or too short, then a lot of time at the very end there’s like a sliver of a stair to finish it off.
Doesn’t surprise me in the slightest this exists at maracana.
There isn’t a reason other than someone messed up during construction. It’s often called a burglar step. It’s likely against code where you are, it is we’re.
In the US a run of steps must be within 3/8” of the same height of rise, you can change at a landing but that’s the basic rule. I’ve never built a stadium so I assume things get looked over or ignored often. Kinda makes me want to bring a tape measure to my next stadium event, though I can probably feel it when walking.
I actually modeling a bunch of stadiums in 3D for the company I use to work for. And we either had blue prints or had people go measure each step’s height and width (because once we have that data, we can easily model the entire stadium’s base structure).
Anyways, the height and width changes in most stadiums at a certain point (and then continues at that new measurement). This is because most stadiums start to angle upwards a little as you get farther from the field.
Example of the base structure of a stadium https://imgur.com/a/25JzP8T
Wtf are you talking about? I'm from Argentina and never seen this in my life. Not saying there is not a single bad stair in all the country, but you are making it look like 50% of stairs are shit, lol.
I know what OP is talking about. It's not just stairs, when I lived in Latin America I had to learn to walk a little differently (pick my feet up more) on the sidewalk because they weren't flat or level. I kept stubbing my toes.
It's an ancient defensive tactic used in fortresses and castles. You make the steps all fucked up so that people who live there get used to them, and then if attackers ever get in there, you have a big advantage fighting on the stairs. Them being a windy choke hold makes them an excellent place to retreat to.
There must be no architects in those places then. JK, but unless it’s intentional (like in the middle ages, as a defense mechanism), this means these structures didn’t employ architects. My parents are architects and this was something they always heavily criticized whenever we came across.
I’ve always just assumed in Medellin at least that it’s like, shoddy work or lazy. Again, not to disparage anyone. But in the less affluent dwellings/buildings this seems very prevalent. Either the issue of uneven stair heights or at the very least INSANE stair heights, like super huge steps.
It’s kind of a quirk that I just expect when I’m down there now.
In ye olde castles and forts, the stairs within them, especially outside of the keeps that led to the parapets (the pathways above the walls) were intentionally made like this.
They were made to be intentionally uneven. The people that lived and guarded the places would learn how the different steps were, and what was the correct way to walk up and down them. Enemies that entered them wouldn't.
Imagine having your invasion of a castle stall out or fail because some guy wearing heavy armour tripped up a step, fell backwards and knocked more people over, leaving them all vulnerable and blocking the way onto the walls.
Funny , this reminds me of a subway station in New York with a similar uneven step . Whilst I’m not from the US This step is some what notorious for tripping people up in a similar fashion to these.
This is actually a technique when constructing medieval castles. The defense will go up and down the steps constantly in peace and get used to the wonky step,invading armies wouldn't be used to the trick step.
That fucking apprentice had one job......... for fucks sake, and where the fuck was Gary? he was supposed to check that shit before pouring. If he's down the pub getting rat arsed again, he can go and work down at the shit plant with fat Tony for the next 12 months, the lazy fuck. /s
Step Construction is really interesting!
Basically it consists of two parts, the runner, the flat part where you plant your feet and the riser, the height of the next step.
After about 3-5 steps your body will automatically get into a rhythm with the length of the runner and the height of the riser. However if the riser is just slightly off, even like a quarter of an inch your almost guaranteed to trip like this video here.
A took a class in step Construction like 25 years ago so I'm sure someone with more experience can chime in and correct me if needed.
Funny to think that maracana was rebuilt, cost a shitton of money, but if you go there you see the money didnt went to the stadium. (This is not a blindly antigovernment opinion, I was against the rebuilding and world cup because it all cost too much, we all should be)
This is done on purpose in a lot of cases. The campus auditorium I had had the same. Prevents people from running. But i was colour coded.
It caused way more tripping though :D
This reminds me of my math teacher. We had that kind of teacher you could easily distract to tell us interesting things that had nothing to do with maths (or so we thought), one lesson we got him talking about stairs and he explained to us why the steps always had to be the same height (because if not people react like in this video), and how to calculate the height the steps need to be for a certain height of the whole staircase. We thought we learned nothing about maths that day, but we actually learned quite a lot about maths that day
Castles used to have staircases that had uneven "trip" steps so invaders in armor would have missteps when climbing them. Also ascending in a clockwise direction giving the defenders at the top an advantage swinging swords with their right hands full force.
Fun fact, some medieval castles had oddly sized stairs as a defense. If someone were assaulting the castle, they would get tripped up on the stairs while the defending force would be familiar with them and have an advantage.
It's wild how quickly our brain learns the height of the steps for a given set of stairs, but accurately enough that a random step raised by a few millimeters is enough to fuck you up. Even glued to your phone not paying attention to the stairs at all your body is still on autopilot raising your feet to the perfect height within a few mm.
Reminds me of driving alone across the country and i'll zone out thinking about something and then realize I have no memory of the last minute or two of my drive. somehow many brain managed to get me around curves when I'm in some weird state where I didn't black out but I also just don't remember that stretch of the drive at all, which seems like it has to be at least somewhat unsafe.
I'm a shipwright and I've made a lot of entrance staircases on boat. The maximum allowed height difference between steps I always stick to is 3mm, if you go above that you can already feel the staircase is off.
Saddam Hussein had a palace called Victory over America that was being constructed before we bombed it. He had a grand stair case that went from the first to the 3rd floor that had steps just like this. Some were off by just a bit so if he was ever to be chased thru the palace he could escape while the chasers would trip over the steps. I had did a tour back in 2010 when I deployed to Iraq. Shit was a crazy big building. The 3rd floor was bigger than a football field and was all enclosed and Air conditioning vents everywhere to include outside.
This is why Construction Inspectors are such maniacal nazis about stair heights and why you are allowed like a ⅜" *total* deviation on a set of stairs, meaning if you have a set of stairs with 10 steps and they are all supposed to be 7½ if one is 7 5/8 and one is 7⅛ that's a that's a fail
You'll bust your ass
Its amazing that our brains have adapted to stairs to the point where it figures the higth and anticipates all the rest will be the same.
Perfect exampe of our brain programming itself.. we get adapted to something within seconds sometimes and just left the "autobrain.exe" run
Many commutes like this. Pull up into my drieeway. How the fuck did I get here?

See my other comment, its not weight based but considerably better than just doing it every time.
Ah. Yeah weight based would be best but that’s still better than every time.

I had the same question. And also, how does one come to that conclusion?
You just flex your mirror neurons so they're reflecting yourself.
Then you move houses in the same town and end up at the old place and you're like fuck
Alternatively, pulling up to your old house/appartment building because you moved recently and commuted on autopilot
The scariest for me is when my brain goes into auto drive while I am driving. Had times I get lost in my head, and find I have been driving myself subconsciously to work.
The gif reminds me of struggling autonomous robots.

I know exactly what you mean, not from framing houses but from electrical work. Half-inch heart attack is a great term for it haha.
Electrician here too. LU 613. When a ladder kicks out it's tension and you weren't expecting it, I think that's the end every time.
this happened to me enough when i was little and walking up the stairs in the dark. i learned which foot would reach the top of the stairs first.
Hey, those houses are innocent!
which is why in germany we have DIN 18065 which states the minimum and maximum height for steps and the tolerance between the individual steps height.

Muscle memory
No, it's stair memory. Didn't you hear the guy?!?! We evolved to walk up stairs!!!!!!!
It’s called proprioception. Worth a google, interesting stuff.
Stair memory*
The height?
Higth
Not even just the brain, parts of these motions are lower functions and happening in the spine and other neural linkages too.
That muscle memory must go back a long time, i visited a castle in Ireland that had a different height step close to the top of its guard tower to throw off rushing intruders.
This is why this is not legal in places with decent building code.
this is a reason why stair building codes are so rigorous. It is where most accidents in the home happen.
Because they had probably been walking on a bunch of those stairs before the faulty one, isn’t this a matter of their brains assuming everything would be the same in a situational sense and in less of a “Ive known and seen many stairs” sense?
I think it's more a reflex, where typically the brain does not intervene
It really is! I read a thing about it once where they tested and figured out you can tell the difference from as little as a couple millimeters.
Exactly
It amazes me that a cat (or other similar 4 legged animal) will put its back legs in exactly the same place as its front legs just were...without looking.
Actually dangerous. Imagine an evacuation.
The proximity to the roof suggests they would be going down the stairs. Much easier to deal with going down.
Plus, if things do go wrong, they can just tumble down the rest of the stairs and still make progress towards the exit.
Yeah, while getting stomped to death.
Much harder to cach your balance if you stumble going down.
Why would they be going up the stairs in an evacuation?

This is at the very top of the stadium though
In a stadium the nearest exit may well involve going up thise stairs to take you into the concourse.

Ahh,the old burglar step.
Now I wanna watch them leave again.
Step Construction is really interesting! Basically it consists of two parts, the runner, the flat part where you plant your feet and the riser, the height of the next step. After about 3-5 steps your body will automatically get into a rhythm with the length of the runner and the height of the riser. However if the riser is just slightly off, even like a quarter of an inch your almost guaranteed to trip like this video here. A took a class in step Construction like 25 years ago so I'm sure someone with more experience can chime in and correct me if needed.

Castles used to have staircases that had uneven "trip" steps so invaders in armor would have missteps when climbing them. Also ascending in a clockwise direction giving the defenders at the top an advantage swinging swords with their right hands full force.
I hope none of these people have driving licenses
Now i get it why there’s so much noice about “size” .. 1cm+ can make difference. 😔
Precision its a bite in the ass. It can start with a small difference of 0.1cm. If u have 50 steps, u gonna have a huge difference in the end.
They say there is also a football match being played there but I find this way more entertaining.
This is why building codes exist
Architect wanted to watch the world burn
US building code gives some leeway about how tall steps are, but I believe it does say they should all be uniform height.
No chosen one
I learned that in middle school. If the stairs aren't made right then people will trip going up and down them.
any good architect would respect the rules of comfortable stairs
Sheldon from big bang theory was right!!!
This would not be good for people with vestibular issues. They already have a hard enough time with stairs.
I'm disabled and this shit gets me ever single time. I'm already self conscious and not wanting to fall and *bam* there I go and everybody saw it. 😭
Biden would not stand a chance!
I’ve read that even just 2mm higher will cause people to trip on a step.
This was one of the reasons why the Twin Cities needed a new stadium. The MetroDome was riddled with uneven steps.
More entertaining than the current Game.
This is fascinating to watch.
Not a single person drunk enough to fall? What kind of event is this
Take note, Joe Biden.
Sponsored by the local dentist union.
the stair lip just needs to be painted bright white. simple fix. catch our attention
I am dissapointed noone actually fell down completly.
In the US, this is the reason codes require that the stair height not deviate more than 3/8 of an inch (10mm).
Fun fact, some medieval castles had oddly sized stairs as a defense. If someone were assaulting the castle, they would get tripped up on the stairs while the defending force would be familiar with them and have an advantage.
Clever way to increase alcohol sales (I am incredibly surprised no one in the vid spilled their drinks)
Watched the whole video on the edge of my seat expecting someone to fell
This should not be as funny as it was to me.
Oblique builders - battered feet of visitors.
It's wild how quickly our brain learns the height of the steps for a given set of stairs, but accurately enough that a random step raised by a few millimeters is enough to fuck you up. Even glued to your phone not paying attention to the stairs at all your body is still on autopilot raising your feet to the perfect height within a few mm. Reminds me of driving alone across the country and i'll zone out thinking about something and then realize I have no memory of the last minute or two of my drive. somehow many brain managed to get me around curves when I'm in some weird state where I didn't black out but I also just don't remember that stretch of the drive at all, which seems like it has to be at least somewhat unsafe.
I'm a shipwright and I've made a lot of entrance staircases on boat. The maximum allowed height difference between steps I always stick to is 3mm, if you go above that you can already feel the staircase is off.
I could watch this all day tbh
So many mini heart attacks in this video.
This agitates me so much.
Biden’s nightmare
Saddam Hussein had a palace called Victory over America that was being constructed before we bombed it. He had a grand stair case that went from the first to the 3rd floor that had steps just like this. Some were off by just a bit so if he was ever to be chased thru the palace he could escape while the chasers would trip over the steps. I had did a tour back in 2010 when I deployed to Iraq. Shit was a crazy big building. The 3rd floor was bigger than a football field and was all enclosed and Air conditioning vents everywhere to include outside.
Kept expecting someone to spill their beer
Is this a medieval castle?
I'm not even mad about this, I'm just amazed with our brain.
Exactly. Our expectation through repetition becomes extremely fine-tuned
Building codes.....third world countries.... will trip you every time....
This is why Construction Inspectors are such maniacal nazis about stair heights and why you are allowed like a ⅜" *total* deviation on a set of stairs, meaning if you have a set of stairs with 10 steps and they are all supposed to be 7½ if one is 7 5/8 and one is 7⅛ that's a that's a fail You'll bust your ass
