gee you have a random mind lol thats a good thing, I rekon she'd probably be able to go upstairs if shes strong enough, but I dont think it could easily go downstairs shed fall.

I would have thought it would be the other way round. I don't know, I've never heard that. I'm going to see if anyone does answer this... It's... interesting.

they use ramps to get on slaughter trucks, not stairs. they cant go down stairs because they would have to lean too far foward and they wuld trip.
