For standing on you don't want a three legged stool, very unstable.

For standing, you want a set of steps, not a stool, of any design.

Yes. And you never see three legged steps ... imagine what HSE would say
about that!

Of course some smarty pants will point out easels. They aren't stepped on.
Or he might point out that a ladder only has a three point loading -
ignoring that one of them, the wall, has a long/broad base.

The one HSE approved for my factory has a wide base at the bottom too - a
curved bar 1.2m long that can be adjusted for any irregularity in the power
floated concrete floor.

We're not going to convince SP, Colin, by our practical experience! Not
that I want to particularly, such a stubborn attitude is heading for a
well-deserved fall ... :-)
