I'm adding "avoid elevators" to the long list of things I won't touch now due to these videos. Basically at this point, I'm confined to a bare room with a pad of paper (no writing utensil)

We have a paternoster lift at my university and it already scared the life out of me but after seeing this it's a definite no-no.

Oh shit arent those like uber rare? Iirc they just run on continuous loops and leave it to the passenger to have the faculties and capabilities to get off in time

Yeah there were these rumors that if you stayed on it when it went over the top and back down you could get injured but I'm thinking that surely isn't true, still I never went near it!
