I really like that staircase also. Incidentally, I believe it was chosen because it resembles a DNA helix.

Best for running up:

Best for falling down (pic does not do justice to how steep this actually is IRL):

Seriously though, some very cool stuff in this thread.

@StephenHero: Forget if I mentioned it somewhere else, but Roman wells have those double helix stairs, which I love. They allowed one pack mule to descend at the same time that another was ascendinging.
