I don't know where you read all this but I don't believe it. Having had Glowsteps for 6 years, I can assure you it is not correct.
There are 3 adjustments for the height of the top of the steps and 5 adjustments on the bottom of the legs. This allows for getting the steps level regardless of the slope of the terrain. And the latch mechanism is solid. Once latched and pinned, there is no way for it to come out. They are rock steady when deployed given the supports at the top and the ground at the bottom.
The Glowstep is still my first choice for steps!
