However, if you watch the field tour video, one of the guys clearly states that the 30 inches is measured from the floor to the top of the first rung. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8E27...y8wIL&index=1).

So does anyone have a good idea of what the right measurements are? Has anyone downloaded the CAD of the field and checked? I'm really sorry about this but I feel that this has been unclear to a lot of people.
The video says that level 1 goes from the floor to the top of the 1st rung, it does not say that the top of the rung is 30" off the ground.
