When Stair Designs Go Full Wild (33 photos)

Stair designs can be wild dangerous and downright confusing which is why some of them are best admired from a distance or better yet completely avoided.

There’s something oddly fascinating about a set of stairs that looks like it was built during a fever dream. You look at them and wonder was this designed for humans or goats? From impossible angles to missing steps, these stair fails truly test the limits of logic, safety, and common sense. It’s like the architect said, “Why not?” and just went with it. And while they might be entertaining to look at, walking on them is a whole different story. Some designs seem like a trap set by someone who’s never used stairs before. One misstep and you’re in for a wild ride, literally.

Whether they twist unexpectedly or lead to nowhere, these stair disasters remind us that not all designs should make it off paper. So while wild stair designs might win points for creativity, they’re also the kind of thing you’d rather avoid if you value your ankles.
