    Using the xtend climb step stool, I stepped onto the first level and then stepped up to the second level to reach something high in my cabinet. Then I moved the stool and did it again. When I got down I realized I was bleeding. I ended up scraping both shins taking off a couple layers of skin on each leg from the sharp edge around the top stair when I stepped up onto it.
