Superior Articular Moving Hand Rail   (+6, -2)  [vote for, against]
feel my back, climb my stairs

Moving staircase hand rail that looks like an outwardly facing spine, with the intervertebral discs being replaced with rubber joints, allowing it flex and revolve properly, and the bony protuberances (the Superior Articular) forming good hand holds.

I also have a sister idea - a design for a static handrail, based on a dinosaur spine - The Diplodocus Longus Bannisterus.
