If you remove the interior liner in the cabin, you will notice that the cored deck ends approx 4" from the hull-deck joint, and that the hull is connected to the deck at this section by over 200 through bolts with washers on the interior. In essence, the toe rail acts as one big washer spreading the loads away from the bolts. It would be nice if they could think of a more comfortable solution than that anodized aluminum rail, but I guess that's how you test crew loyalty.
