Yep, and they were designed 40 years ago when the weight of an average American was around 70kg.
Fast forward 40 years later, we are heavier, the aircrafts too are getting older, everything has an "best before" date including steel wing struts..
I wonder why those steps are not installed on some other high wing aircrafts ?
