Some of the two-holers, if operated solo, can take on a dangerous angle of
bank. (This is not a problem with the three-holers if operated from the
center position, however). While some would argue that the bank angle
might, by inducing vertigo, decrease evacuation time (especially in
emergencies), I have found that the disorientation tends to block the
exits.
