Especially those of us from the nanny states who are accustomed to being protected from our own poor judgment. When I first moved into my 5th floor apartment in BKK, I found myself leaning out over the balcony to see what kind of birds were fighting on the 4th floor. Had the patio been wet and slippery I could have easily gone over, since my center of mass was way out into empty sky. A real eye opener...

Also, it negates the need for a 3-foot balcony rail. I don't like ground floor rooms. I worry too much about theft and don't like hiding my laptop each time I leave the unit. Spike strips on the balcony rail have worked great for me so far. Nobody gets anywhere near the edge, including pigeon's. I don't think anyone that has fallen had a spike strip there.
