If I recall correctly, I think building codes surrounding tripping/fall hazards and railings may have had something to do with it unfortunately. I may be mistaken though
That would make sense because I can see a lot of tripping and falling leading to injury in a cocaine lounge.
It was probably a falling hazard for children. So I'll blame the children for ruining the cocaine lounge.
That looks ideal for children tho. It's practically soft play.
I can see the tripping and falling leading to sex and debauchery. This is what they've taken from you.
also Disco. don't forget Disco.
This is the world OSHA has created. I say we return to Darwinism.
To some extent that's how it is in the Netherlands, at least when compared to countries like UK/US with strict health and safety/codes. Railings to stop your car from falling in the canal? Fuck that if you can't park within a tiny space without falling into the water you deserve to die.
same goes for staircases. A student dorm I frequented in NL had a staircase in the library that was super steep, had no railings and if you trip you fall like 10m. Every step was of a different size.
Ah yes even in most slightly older normal houses you risk your life every time you go to bed upstairs. Friend of mine almost came tumbling down from my attic once, it's standard.
I stayed at a hotel in Amsterdam that was on the fourth floor, so up three flights of stairs but with no landings on each floor, and the stairs were like 4" deep with 10" risers and there were no railings. And I had to drag two rolling suitcases up with me. I couldn't help but feel like "they don't really want me here".
Amsterdam is not a place for dangerous terrain, since most people go there to get wasted their whole trip.
That's certainly why I went there.
God damnit OSHA.
OSHA is workplaces. Building code is relatively unrelated
What do you mean lot laying pipe on that pit.
Pretty sure you could still get away with this - if the drop is less than 30" no railing is required.
Also any water on the floor can be spilled over into the pit.
