Several hikers died from falling off these steps. The "death stairs" earn their ominous nickname due to their 618-step ascent, sheer unfenced drops onto jagged rocks, and several tragic tourist fatalities.
At least you'd probably land on carpet. Hopefully.
I saw this on a zillow gone wild post. Here's the link if anyone wants to see an ugly red brick castle.
This is part of some renovation project that's been going on since at least december of last year (so yes they were used in wet and icy weather). I sadly could not get a better pic without looking like a creep but they lead to the ledge of a roof that is currently (still) being worked on.

the carpet is very old and worn down which has caused me to slip on the narrow steps at the bottom while walking down. Eventually realized it was best just not to wear socks or walk with intention. Complete with brick landing pad.
At Tinker Falls in central NY.
Frequently changing slope and material, rusted through in many places.
Hard to capture in photos just how steep they get about midway up.
