Old post. I have the standard left rail in basement. What I did for the right is boat deck cleats and heavy rope for the rail.
My jungle gym. I feel safe.
Depending on the stair design you could have a rail on both sides.
My stairs are so narrow I have to remove the rail for large furniture. Two rails would be a problem. Mine is on the left going down or right going up.
Assuming right handed and elderly (I am both) I would put the rail on the right side going up. In the morning before the joints loosen I go down the stairs backwards anyway, so I use my right hand on the rail both directions.. Backing up stairs is not going to happen but backing down them is much safer anyway.
