Walked into a building in Prague that looked Soviet era. It had one! I had never seen one before. Crazy.
@philmarshall4098
I worked in a paper mill and they had "Man Lifts". Like a Paternoster, but just a belt with platforms and hand-holds. Not appropriate for the public, but convenient and fun!
@OweEyeSea
The American Bar Association would love to see these introduced here.
@G56AG
When I was a kid they had a similar type system at the local flour mill. It was an industrial version, the safety nerds would be catatonic at such an item today. It consisted of a moving belt, there was a step and a hand hold, you stood on the step and held on, traveling between floors, there was no safety equipment of any type, if you let go the hand hold you could fall off the step at any point, nothing to stop you at all. I'm pretty sure safety regs probably banned these a long time ago.
@221hillsteve
Not sure if it's still there, but I found one still in use at University Leicester about 6 years ago.
@michaelfink64
I thought it would have been called Pater Noster because the rider would be compelled to say the Our Father before trying to get on it.
@hvwees
I use to work in that building in The Hague were that man was killed in the paternoster.
@Gist258
add some sensor to connect to the emergency break might help reduce losing limbs.
@2011smperry
I haven't come across these types of elevators before.

Cuteness overload at 2:32
@thoughtful_criticiser
Very difficult to guillotine toes etc. as the floor is hinged on the cars and the floor to let anything trapped escape intact. They are great at moving large numbers quickly and the fire issue can resolved in the same way as stairwells. BRING BACK THE PATERNOSTER Peterborough District Hospital had one. We would play jokes on new staff showing them how to use it and let them get off, ride over the top come down standing on heads. We couldn't believe that people fell for it. Also ridden the Attenborough Tower at Leicester University.

Welcome to the deathelator... Take your chances baby.

Cant have them in the USA because we want everything fast, fast cars, fast horses, fast boats, fast internet, fast food, fast women, etc.
@IsYitzach
Israel should consider more of these as they don't require special programming for the Sabbath. Elevators run continuously and stop on every floor on the Sabbath there. That way observant Jews can use them without breaking Sabbath by commanding things to change their state, a type of work.
@frogandspanner
Lifts are for people. Elevators are for shoes.
@fordlandau
Looks incredibly dangerous.
@goclunker
These days we have people who would get crushed in these lifts lol
@bobgrimes8618
These are shown in Babylon Berlin.
@jari2018
