This used to help where the gaps between stair-rails are larger than 20 cm, so that children could theoretically “slip through” them. 

Staircase safety nets are designed for use on large, extensive staircases. They are installed in the stairwell on several levels, to minimise the risk of injury from falling.

With a staircase safety net, you are equipped for all eventualities – for example, in kindergartens or children’s homes. 

Small children are often unable to adequately estimate heights and hazards, so that while roaming, crawling and climbing over balustrades, it can quickly happen that they fall from landings/galleries or through stair-rail struts. 

This also applies in retirement homes, where older people are at a greater risk of falling. As carers are unable to provide one hundred percent continuous supervision
