That is absolutely brutal. I can just imagine grabbing that when slipping and the pain in the hand would almost make you want to let go again. Terrible.
I experience psychosis and I personally appreciate when people ask others not to use it as an insult or a synonym for "bad/bad person" 🤷 ain't white-knighting if it's appreciated
We don't need to ban the word. Just don't use it as an insult. You can still say "my wife is psychotic" or smth like that, because that isn't an insult
None of those are medical terms that are still used maybe they were used in the 70s but you’d be hard pressed to find a professional still using them today
I suspect that the intent of this poorly concieved fiasco is not as a hand rail, but rather as a guard rail or fence of some sort to keep things like carts out of the shrubbery. They didn't want folks using it as a railing for some reason, possibly it's not sturdy enough to support a person leaning, but enough to keep a cart on the path.
There is some reason that should not be used as a hand rail. It might be a good reason, but that's almost certainly the wrong solution.
Oh look, a lawsuit rail
The medieval torture handrail. For when your elderly aunt doesn’t want to give up the information.

skating isn’t a crime!
That's absolutely crazy. Definitely a safety violation.
This is psychotic.
This is evil, despicable, heartless, but not psychotic or related to psychosis. Please don't use that as an insult.
No, I think I used the right word. This is irrational and indicative of a mental disorder.
Also, seriously, are you really white-knighting for psychotic people?
This is not indicative of psychosis...
You say that like psychotic people have done something wrong. Kinda weird

Ditto
Heartless? You realize that some people get heart transplants, right? Please don’t use that as an insult.
Also, despicable has its roots in physically looking down at something. Its discrimination against short people.
Please dont language police common words.
Idk, I just don't think we should shit on ppl with psychosis
It is a very painful condition, my wife suffers from it sometimes. But arbitrarily banning words is not the solution.

You're still assuming I used it as an insult, and not a description.
Also, as not-a-doctor not-making-a-diagnosis, I'm allowed to use the word in the common way.
Nobody's arbitrarily banning anything, they're just asking you not to use medical terms for unrelated situations
Like dumb? Or idiotic? Brainless? Myopic? Crazy?

Oh, and my favorite: Lame.
I have seen these put on rails that people were leaning on that were not structurally secure enough to be leaned on.
This seems pretty substantially built so it would be a little surprising if that was the reason for this, but it seems plausible.
I trip and try and stop myself from falling with the handrail, I puncture my hand in 12 places and fall anyway
It's not a handrail, it's fencing so you don't walk into the bushes.
Can someone explain the purpose of this to me? My first thought would be to dissuade skateboarding but you can just use grind caps for that. Why this?
To be clear, I am not defending this.

Is it to prevent loitering?
Beautiful. Finally a handrail that discourages dependence, promotes balance training, and doubles as medieval decor.
what is this doing for a n y o n e

Yeah, I read that too and apparently also against homeless people.
God damn homeless people sleeping on my handrails.
lol. That's what it said or use it to rest. 😅

This was never a handrail
