In most of the Star Wars movies, someone gets thrown off a platform on a Empire or First Order ship. Why do they have platforms/bridges like that?

1Can you give some examples? I can only think of three at the top of my head, and technically none of them occurred on an Empire or First Order ship. – Rogue Jedi Dec 29 '15 at 22:48

1Duplicate, I think. There was an earlier question about high places and lack of safety barriers – DVK-on-Ahch-To Dec 29 '15 at 23:21

The Star Wars universe as a whole has a very poor safety rating.
Are guard rails important? Apparently not. I guess falling 6 feet into a pit isn't a concern, even with a narrow walkway.
Even here, in this incredibly dangerous place, there is no safety rail for what is clearly a series of consoles and controls.
All the landing platforms are really high up, but I guess no one ever tripped and fell to their death, resulting in a lawsuit.
