When someone slips and falls on a stair the sharp edge of each step can inflict a mean blow to a tender part of the body. If stairs were provided with an inset of soft material on their sharp edges it might cushion the blow sufficiently to prevent a catastrophe. Rubber or a soft plastic would do the job. A protruding nosing on the step is also a danger and can cause someone to trip and fall.
