Great video example of not being safe. 1 in 12 is the MAXIMUM slope for public access ramp safety. Does the ADA still say that it becomes a ramp when it exceeds 1 in 20 and the maximum slope allowed is 1 in 12? The US Highway system requires a roadway to be no steeper than 1 in 20, except for mountains. If 1 in 12 is the maximum slope, show us your experiment with 1 in 12 and 1 in 20. Also, refresh us on DCOF, railings, etc. requirements for a Ramp vs a Walkway.
Great video. Nice job, Chris.

Now try doing this with a 400 pounder.
You wouldn't try for long. ;)
