Safety Issue

I was watching Lucy Raises Chickens and it occurred to be how dangerous their country home was. In this scene, Little Ricky is literally sitting in front of a poorly guarded second floor ledge. Look at the gap between the railings and floor! Never noticed how wide they were. With a child and a dog running around the house, this is a disaster waiting to happen! Just find it interesting that I'm beginning to notice things as an adult that I never noticed as a kid watching the show.
