1. Good for you. Is this a jump from 0-20, or have you been building up?

3. 0-to-20. And my legs are tired!
Still, compared to 3 years ago when my legs weren't atrophied, I did a really good job. Little sweating and hardly out of breath; I think today was rather better... which doesn't explain the atrophy, but when you've got an injured spine, I suppose anything is possible...

4. And have it break down? With people inside it?
Proving to people what I had eaten for lunch would not be a good thing...

7. One flight contains 14 steps at an angle approximately 45 degrees.
Between 40 and 50, definitely. I didn't have a protractor or other measuring device to confirm it, though... but it was no gentle incline...
