   Fortunately OSHA doesn’t require underwear. Or unfortunately.

   OSHA would demand a ramp. Or an elevator.

   Not a bad idea. If you ever get the chance to go up and down one of those pyramids you’ll understand.

   Someone fell down the stairs at Chichen Itza and died. Now, they don’t let anyone on them.

   The ADA would demand ramps or elevators, OSHA deals with workplace safety and might require a handrail, safety class, and warning stickers.

    @AshburnStadium

    Most countries have their own version.

    My question is, what will OSHA say about the obsidian knives at the top?

    So – the backdrop for “Laura Croft Tombraider” was Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia. The “steps” are 18 inches nigh (double normal stairs) and to get from the “ground” level to the first intermediate level is maybe 50 feet / 75 feet. Climbing UP isn’t much of a problem – just keep climbing until it levels out. The next level is probably yet another 50 to 75 feet above that – just keep climbing (lots of nice views between catching your breath and sucking on a water bottle that you brought with you). Lots of carvings to see, too – pictures to take. Now the problem is GETTING BACK DOWN – luckily, there is an installed “stone stairs” and it even has a handrail – but it’s only wide enough for 1 person, so it takes maybe 45 minutes to get down – unless you are brave enough to go sideways and zig-zag across the rocks on the way down. And to think that Buddhist monks and Hindu priests did this trip up and down daily. It IS, of course, bit dangerous – one slip and it’s a Homer Simpsonesqe tumble down to the lower level. usually nobody gets hurt.

    Need those handrails. You wouldn’t want the sacrifices to hurt themselves.
