Floating Staircase, How many pounds will it hold?
Wow, check out this floating staircase, do you think it will hold an average American over 250 pounds through daily stress???
UPDATE: I am an American who doesn’t weigh 250 pounds but I am just saying this should be able to hold up a 250 pound person, regardless of their culture. No pun intended. 
This “floating staircase” was designed by Jordi Vayreda of Jordivayreda Projectteam (Spain). It may look dangerous, but that’s only because the guard-rails are made of the same invisible material as the risers.

The approximate average adult American weight at the beginning of 2006 was calculated to be 179.85 pounds.
The spam protection questions are pretty tough, huh?

Americans only average 250 if you count all the money in their pockets.

No light refraction, no sign of edges…. it must be air…

Ok so I’m sorry but how is it that every time someone sees a picture that seems amazing, they claim its fake and photo shopped?!?!? Like, seriously, just because people have the ability to photo shop things doesn’t mean they do to EVERY SINGLE PICTURE!!! Stop being pessimistic and just enjoy the pictures!

It is probably made out of the same material that Wonder Woman’s invisible airplane was made of. I always wondered why she herself wasn’t included in the plane’s invisibility when she was inside… everything else inside was.

Ohhhhh, I can just see the American Lawyers salivating over this design. Can you say LAWSUITS. Don’t think this would work in the USA, too many code violations, as we have become a Nanny State

I, being American, am saddened by the people in my country who are insecure enough to care that people from other countries think we’re fat on average.
Which we most definitely are.

I would love it if people could just comment on what this page is about- the stairs.
Yeah, so the guy made a comment about overweight Americans. Americans make comments about overweight Americans.
Just talk about how pretty the stairs are and stop being anal about other people’s opinions.
Nice stairs, also.

why is everyone arguing about how fat americans are and how much money is in their ever-shrinking pockets? isn’t this page about a nifty staircase? I’m American, a bit overweight, and broke. all the time. can’t afford a floating staircase. In fact, most of the people i know couldn’t afford something like that, though they’d likely buy it for posterity’s sake and have to remortgage the house to do it. and they’d also likely bust their fat asses falling down it.
Lighten up everybody, the world’s full of stupid people, stop compounding the interest.
Besides, America can do this all on their own without the help of some small group of sub-degenerates who have nothing better to do than argue on the internet. I merely caught this site in the interest of art. How boring you all must be.

So, if there are railings and its made out of invisable material then could you feel the railings? could you hold on to them?

Amazing stairs, and absolutely right, one of those overweight americans would destroy them! Probably crush another american sitting under the stairs on that poor computer.
