Need a stairgate to stop me falling down stairs at night.

I’ve just read the Which? report, the stair gates are tested with a 25kg weight to simulate a toddler or large dog hitting it.
Some dislodged with even much less weight.

Even the best ones wouldn’t withstand an adult falling against them.

Which? Magazine have recently reviewed 30 stair gates, and cover every aspect of safety, fitting etc.

Have you thought about having handrails fitted on the landing or having a lightweight walker upstairs too?

A relative of mine had a catastrophic fall 12 weeks ago on the landing, hit her head on a radiator , resulting in a fractured scull and 3 bleeds on the brain. Minimally conscious for the first 8 weeks, now emerged, but is peg fed, suprapubic catheter fitted. Now learning to swallow, use her limbs again, awaiting a place at a neuro rehab unit. Cognitive state far from her baseline, and no way of knowing how much she will recover.

Rosie's gate looks sturdy - but a bit short.
I'd definitely want one fixed well at the sides!

Wouldn't you need to have something much taller? I'm sure I could fall over an ordinary height stairgate if I stumbled onto it at night. And they aren't very sturdy... I might look to have something made specially - or fit a garden gate at a sensible height?

This isn't a UK company but I'm sure there must be similar here:

I’m sure others are available.

What a good idea.
You could have it fixed to one wall rather than the sort I have had for to GC which is held on both sides by those rubber washer things. Fixed to one wall,it wouldn’t need a bar across the bottom
