As someone who owns an apartment with a lot of stairs, plus a ladder to the bed - its great, its whimsical and pretty....until you had an operation, or have diarrhea, or a really heavy migraine, or a hangover, or anything really that has you sitting in the middle of those stairs, not sure if its better to just accept your fate right then and there or continue your fight to the top.
The picture in question is of the so called Jacob's Ladder on St. Helena. For some reason the image is mirrored, but the stairs themselves are quite recognizable.
It is 700 steps from bottom to top and the recored of running up the stairs sits at 5 minutes, 16.78 seconds. So that part more or less checks out.
The height is 183 meter which in free fall straight down would take 4.32 seconds.
Realistically you would take a lot longer unless you went over the nearby cliff instead of down the incline.
If the house is 5 minutes from the beach, thats the house - beach distance.
The point of view here is the top stairs to the house distance (we are not at the beach) and we havent been given the time to move normally down the stairs.
If we fall, and fall the whole way, it might go faster than walking down, but it would have nothing to do with the distance to the beach and you would hurt yourself so bad you would be lucky(?) If alive after.
Now, if you wanted to later move from the house to the beach after having falled down the stairs, it would take longer to move the distance than the original 5 minutes which is probably given as an average for the general population and not someone who has only smashed bones in the body.
There is hopefully some intentional joke in the original picture about logic.
lets say it takes one minute total for walking to and from the staircase during the journey, leaving the stairs at 4 minutes. with typical 1m/s speed of walking down stairs, that's a 240m distance.
For a rough estimate of falling down, lets assume constant gravitational acceleration for 240m. It would be less acceleration since it's not vertically straight down and you're bouncing off the ground, but also a longer distance so it should all cancel out. overall, it takes about 7 seconds to fall to the bottom.
If it helps the math: I've once seen a guy fall down an escalator and he pretty much stayed in the same spot, maybe that is useful info to calculate fall rate
Would 100% rent/buy this place, stairs are a plus, i’m sure that’s a great view too
Exactly! Free fitness, every day and I don’t have to drive to a gym
5 minutes to the beach, 2.5 hours to get back home…
It’s a lot of steps but really not too big of a climb irl
Also away from flood zone 🌊
And right in a landslide zone.
Edit... there isn't any anti erosion vegetation
Yeah but I wouldn’t want to be the houses on the bottom either in that case
Yeah you’re right haha.
I would not want to move all my furniture up those stairs . . . Or even carry groceries up . . .
And a handrail to slide on!
You can loop your heels and elbows over and do a double banister slide too
Just wait until your first delivery!
I couldnt imagine building those stairs!

great, won’t be happening for me anytime soon
Time does tend to get a little funky when you're tripping, so...
If you dropped at the top or the bottom, you'd certainly be peaking by the time you got to the other.

You noticed the image reversal. 👍🏻
I did too. I loudly proclaim my autism trait is an odd interest with remote islands.
You’d better get to visiting then!
Yes this is Ladder’s Jacob in Townjames Helena Saint.
It depends on where and how badly you trip. Free fall can be 8 seconds.
It would be a very long eight seconds, and don't call me Shirley.
If freely fallIng, with negligible air resistance looking at a height of 320 meters (~1050 feet )
It is time to implement the "John Wick" as a unit of measurement for falling down stairs.

That's Jamestown, Saint Hel[EE]ena!
backwards.
5 minutes one way, 30 minutes back

wrong tag, should be request. but anyway,

What if you jump forward instead of tripping?
These steps are called Skateboarders are bitches.
You'd probably only remember 8 seconds lol

There’s a reason I didn’t post this in the theydidthegrammar subreddit. I do appreciate the effort, thank you.
😉
someone catch aunt bunny!
5 min laterally, 45 min vertically.
Quads of gods…. Yes more than 8 seconds.
Also, calling that a beach…
It fits the definition perfectly well.
Than
This isn’t Theydidthegrammar subreddit.
6 hours to get home.
The extreme parts of my brain says you should try to 50-50 grind that bad boy
