Yes I've been in one.
Interesting way to go up and down

Yes.

There is one in Frankfurt that takes you up to a restaurant.

And you guys still have the correct number of limbs?

Yup
Had one in the office of pharmaceutical company I worked for in 80's and 90's.

Used it all the time - quicker than either waiting for the lift or going to staircase.

Not there anymore - Whole office block plus production plant now demolished and corporation a few mergers on!!

Only one I have ever seen was in the hospital in the original 'The Omen'

We had one at Uni in one of our buildings, it was awesome!

We were told NEVER to stay in it as it goes over the top or under the bottom - but of course we did, and we didn't die.

Health and safety would have a field day with these now though, you could literally be squashed and cut in two if you got it wrong. Discovery 4 HSE

I heard about a guy who when the clocks changed got his early morning erection an hour later when he was in the lift, and he was standing too close to the entrance/exit.

For those who've never seen one in action...




They used to have one in the Claremont Tower at Newcastle University, but it was removed after several injuries and one fatality. A student panicked as they went over the top, tried to get out and suffered fatal injuries.

I used to love going in it and was sad to see it go.

Bit like a women then …. Don't get out in time your F D  ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy
