I fell on my broken foot last time because the crutches weren't stable enough for me to rest my weight on and then step up with my good foot. And everyone told me my crutches were unusable on steps and to scoot up on my butt, which 1) not ideal, 2) my apartment has a high step before the stairs start, so if you sit down to scoot up that, you're then stranded and can't get up or reach the start of the stairs. That is a BAD DESIGN. Actually, that step is too. Why not a ramp?
