Our legs don't work like they ust'a.
What is notable is the aid moved to catch her.
It is nowhere near 16 inches. If it were, the guy standing behind the podium must be 8 feet tall.
When I was younger I could go up four steps at a time. I’m 70 now and can only go up three at a time. Going up four looks a little awkward now.
From this picture - that doesn't look like a sixteen inch step. Check out the guy to the right of her in the pic(black suit-reddish tie-glasses) You can see pretty much all of his leg- the picture looks to be taken at street-level....looks like a six inch step - if that.
