ABSTRACT:
A pair of parallel safety bars are track-mounted above the stairs of a stairway. The safety bars are formed so as to be gripped by the user in ascending or descending the stairs. The user steps between the bars, with each bar being hinged to permit such access, and grabs the bar in the direction of ascent or descent. The track-mounted end of the bar is pivotally connected to a shoe which slides in the track as the person moves on the bar downwardly on the bar or the weight of the user pulls the bar downwardly, friction braking elements on the shoe and in the track are contactingly engaged to restrict further movement of the bar thereby preventing the user from falling down the stairs.
