> and the railings for some reason tend to be very low
This isn't just a problem on bridges. Guardrails in shopping malls seem to come up to thigh height, well below a normal person's center of gravity. I hate it and I can't understand who thought that would be a good idea.
I want guardrails that -- if I should happen to be propelled into them -- will stop me from falling over the side. Not rails that will tip me over headfirst.
