Yeah, especially if its only 1 person, and there are other exits on each floor, otherwise they could just have 1 person wait at the bottom for u to go full circle
It didn't break down, one of the alrarms were triggered. A tourist probably messed up. There's a sliding board on the top which if you slide up stops the elevator from crushing you. So that means that even if you entered too late and are seconds away from being crushed, that safety feature will save you.

Same. And the fact that I saw a video one time of a normal elevator malfunctioning and a guy almost getting caught while stepping in, it's making this video seem even scarier.
In the video, it says that the elevator stops because someone couldn’t get in and hit the bar at the top, so hopefully it would be safer tab it seems at first.
That's...a good thing. It legit is unsafe? Like in this case, yes a lawsuit could save someone's life. Not to mention it's not accessible to a lot of people like the disabled. This is not the checkmate on the US you think it is, the ADA is a good thing.
I was there a few weeks ago. The location of the elevator was surprising. It was a government building and very quiet. That little mesh gate on the top of the opening of the elevator is a loose platform. If someone or something get caught on it or moves it, that alarm in the last part will ring the whole building and the system will come to a hault until the system is resetted. The security guy that works on this says someone always triggers it more than twice a day, and most of which on purpose. Though it was a great experience.
I'm surprised they let tourists in that building, when I was younger I spent one whole summer there because my mom worked there and had too much work. I think in that time people didn't know about the pater nosters and few years ago, some people started posting them online and it became a tourist attraction, it's interesting
I would 100% get behind this. If stepping forward at the right time is too dangerous for the average American, well maybe it’s time to introduce some Darwin awards
They don't break down. There is a sensor on the mesh part of the elevator.

@@moose2430 I was born and live here in the Czech Republic (not Prague), and what can I say. It doesn't seem like it's an accessibility nightmare... It *is* an accessibility nightmare.
I remember hearing that these elevators were made for Jews, who have rest days where they can't work. Rabbis concluded that work includes pushing the button for an elevator, so these elevators help them circumvent the rules to use elevators.
@@sourrlemons Probably stops at the slightest contact, for lifts like these, they are probably not done anymore since it seems like quite a bit more effort to implement, rather than your typical elevator.
I used to have to ride one of these every day as a kid. I absolutely hated it. It was super scary and all the adults acted like it was fine but it was obvious that they were afraid of it as well. Also because I was a kid no one would try to explain to me the safety features that it had because I “wouldn’t understand” so I actually thought I would get sliced in half if I messed up. That’s not to say it can’t be dangerous though, it’s fully capable of breaking a bone or cutting off a finger
Based on the name, I'd say that it was in Hungary. Apparently these elevators were pretty popular, at least to be built, in the Eastern bloc. As its structure resembles the rosary, it quickly got the name paternoster in Hungary. Since they are so dangerous, not many of them are in use anymore. For example, I did first encounter them when reading a parody book but never seen any working.
I hate that no one would explain the elevator to you. Like it didn't occur to a single adult that saying "It's fine" isn't reassuring 🤦♂️. My butt was shrinking in fear watching this
@ Dominik Lukas How did you know when to get off? How do you get off of it? It's a same know one explained it to you. I image it made the experience scarier than it needed to be.
This elevator is called a paternoster. It is a passenger elevator which consists of a chain of open compartments that move slowly in a loop up and down inside a building without stopping. Passengers can step on or off at any floor they like.
whoever built it clearly hasn’t seen the american lawsuits😂 shit looks like an accident waiting to happen no type of safety feautures involved here just pure luck
As long as they are used, they are safe. The buzzer was safety feature that instantly stops the elevator when you touch the grid on the top of or lift the board in the floor. It is to make sure that nothing gets stuck between floor and the the elevator and get damaged.

@@ironencepersonal9634 yes but in some situation the victim escapes and has a huge gap between him/her and his/her attacker but the door to the elevator is the reason that gap never existed
Fuck the light, if you see graffiti at the top you're safe. Edit: I'd like to thank y'all for appreciating my comment with a like, honestly im not too stoked about this because it's just UA-cam shorts, but in general I don't put my media attention as a top priority that's for sure, now that I have a following of great mass, I'd like to talk about jesus christ... Just fuckin kidding lol anyway cheers people, life's grand.
It's called a Paternoster lift. There was one in the chemistry building at my university in the 70's. At the start of the academic year, we used to go up and stay in as the lift went above the top floor, bang the sides of the lift loudly (so others in the floor below heard it) then stand on our heads as we appeared coming down the other side back to the floor we left.
You go all the way up, then u end up in a machine room where it moves to the side and down you go to the basement. The changing directions was the best part as a kid playing in those. Every hospital had them so that the staff could go to their floor rapidly.
@@rainbowpotatoecatas someone in a wheelchair when out. I wouldnt go near it even if i got up since i would fall from balance and pain. Not enough money in the world
I've never seen an elevator like that! In contrast, I once worked on the 52 floor in one of the tallest buildings in the USA, and we had what everyone called "rocket elevators, or turbo elevators " . When I got in on the lobby floor, the elevator door closes and we blast off.... the first possible stop could be 40th floor, but on a good day there were no stops until floor 52. Under 15 seconds, and your ears popped several times.
For those who missed what it said in the end: Someone didn't make it in on time and triggered the bar at the top that stops it. Not sure how reliable it is but it worked this time. Luckily I wasn't at the top and staff was around. They got it going within 15 minutes.
Decades ago I was an underground Miner. This video reminded me of how we traveled underground in a particular vertical shaft mine. The "cage" was open front and back and suspended by cable. The size of the cage was about the same as the elevator in the video or around the same as an old telephone box. Four of us would travel down the shaft with each of us back to back with another. Very nerve racking being inches away from the rock face and going past each open level. Just preyed that no-one had an involuntary movement or sneezed or something. As the cage was coming to your level it would slow down and stop, yet the cage would continue to bounce up and down a little as the cable expanded and contracted. It was like you were a tea bag being jiggled in the cup. 😅
I have an innate fear of escalators, and I don’t know why. They just scare the fvck out of me and I refuse to use them. I handle elevators just fine. This contraption falls under the hell no list
Same here. I’m afraid I’d trip, escalator falls during movement, and I can’t help but imagine my shoe could get stuck or shredded at the start and bottom. Maybe it’s because when it comes to elevators you don’t have to feel you need to rush but idk 😅
Honestly escalators can be fairly dangerous, I don’t blame you for refusing to use them. When I was little I used to love them, but the internet has exposed me to so much that I tend to avoid them too.
An important context clue shows that you are lying about the speed. 10 seconds and 20 seconds at that speed? That building would be massive with incredible distances between floors that wouldn't make any sense. These move slower than a modern elevator.
@Zero Hitmen he speed up the video to make it look faster. When someone is stepping on it is slower. When it is fast look at the hands on people and they shake because the video is speed up
OMG I literally have nightmares EXACTLY like this all the time! Although its usually going way faster and/or free falls so fast your on the ceiling lol
I took my late mum to visit my university's library where they had one of these. She loved it. The one that I used moved slower than this one appears to do, so getting on and off was no big deal.
In German an office building had one of these and you were required to do a test to get a license to use it. There was a security guard in front of it to check your "license"
We have/had one in the court building in Lübeck. I saw it 10 years ago. Back then there was no license control. Don't know if it is still there. I hope so, because it's way faster than 2 ordinary elevators. To get everyone where they need to go
for people who didn’t catch what it said at the end Someone didn’t make it in on time and triggered the bar at the top that stops it. Not sure how reliable it is but it worked this time. Luckily I wasn’t at the top and staff was around. They got it going within 15 minutes

Architects about to make the most ungodly thing they ever created:
honestly I'd ride something like that
I thought engineers made this 😅
I'm sorry, Gotta make the money 😅
Ironically, it's named Paternoster 😭
I remember hearing that these elevators were made for Jews, who have rest days where they can't work. Rabbis concluded that work includes pushing the button for an elevator, so these elevators help them circumvent the rules to use elevators.
"The second time I got on it, it broke.."
Dude💀💀
Someone hit the bar that stops it, if anything this means it's at least somewhat safe?
Creppy 😊
@@sourrlemons Probably stops at the slightest contact, for lifts like these, they are probably not done anymore since it seems like quite a bit more effort to implement, rather than your typical elevator.
Lies
😂😂😂
That'd be fun to just sit there for a couple hours
I used to have to ride one of these every day as a kid. I absolutely hated it. It was super scary and all the adults acted like it was fine but it was obvious that they were afraid of it as well. Also because I was a kid no one would try to explain to me the safety features that it had because I “wouldn’t understand” so I actually thought I would get sliced in half if I messed up. That’s not to say it can’t be dangerous though, it’s fully capable of breaking a bone or cutting off a finger
Yes I’ve never tried it before but you can’t say it’s perfectly safe I would be scared to.
Where did you used to ride it as a kid??
Based on the name, I'd say that it was in Hungary. Apparently these elevators were pretty popular, at least to be built, in the Eastern bloc. As its structure resembles the rosary, it quickly got the name paternoster in Hungary. Since they are so dangerous, not many of them are in use anymore. For example, I did first encounter them when reading a parody book but never seen any working.
I hate that no one would explain the elevator to you. Like it didn't occur to a single adult that saying "It's fine" isn't reassuring 🤦♂️. My butt was shrinking in fear watching this
@ Dominik Lukas How did you know when to get off? How do you get off of it? It's a same know one explained it to you. I image it made the experience scarier than it needed to be.
This elevator is called a paternoster. It is a passenger elevator which consists of a chain of open compartments that move slowly in a loop up and down inside a building without stopping. Passengers can step on or off at any floor they like.
I love how a paternoster is also a necklace with a cross on it, In Belgium, we also use the word to describe praying.
Поверхность
whoever built it clearly hasn’t seen the american lawsuits😂 shit looks like an accident waiting to happen no type of safety feautures involved here just pure luck
I guess wheelchairs and baby strollers are SOL!
@@T2211D lol yeah paternoster (our father) it's a latin prayer. I wonder why did they call it like a prayer lol
As long as they are used, they are safe. The buzzer was safety feature that instantly stops the elevator when you touch the grid on the top of or lift the board in the floor. It is to make sure that nothing gets stuck between floor and the the elevator and get damaged.
unfortunately i've seen a video of someone who got stuck in between the elevators, it was very difficult/painful to watch, but it's happened 😬

@@ree3197 ok
Yeah you'll note there's ten seconds between floors supposedly but in the video it's more like 3sec in the video.

Same LOL 😆
You really should work on that.

The lift doesn’t go that fast. Video is spedup
We all need this elevator in horror movies so we dont have to wait for the door to close
Maybe not. This means the slasher doesn't need to wait for the door to open either, so they can continue the chase faster.
@@ironencepersonal9634 yes but in some situation the victim escapes and has a huge gap between him/her and his/her attacker but the door to the elevator is the reason that gap never existed

It's called a Paternoster lift. There was one in the chemistry building at my university in the 70's. At the start of the academic year, we used to go up and stay in as the lift went above the top floor, bang the sides of the lift loudly (so others in the floor below heard it) then stand on our heads as we appeared coming down the other side back to the floor we left.
You SURVIVED!
😂
Was you at Leicester?
paternoster lift? so the people praid just to get on a lift
@@irenek6295 Actually, prayed to get off safely! It was particularly bad when there was a big crowd at the start and end of the day.
You go all the way up, then u end up in a machine room where it moves to the side and down you go to the basement. The changing directions was the best part as a kid playing in those. Every hospital had them so that the staff could go to their floor rapidly.

@@rainbowpotatoecatas someone in a wheelchair when out. I wouldnt go near it even if i got up since i would fall from balance and pain. Not enough money in the world
I've never seen an elevator like that! In contrast, I once worked on the 52 floor in one of the tallest buildings in the USA, and we had what everyone called "rocket elevators, or turbo elevators " . When I got in on the lobby floor, the elevator door closes and we blast off.... the first possible stop could be 40th floor, but on a good day there were no stops until floor 52. Under 15 seconds, and your ears popped several times.
Thats the creepiest thing ever im afraid of elevators alone but this is a whole new level-
Im scared of being in an elevator even with a person
I'm scared of elevators but that's not scary
It's slow
Same the scary thing is if it stops
it’s okay, this video is sped up as this moving elevator is a lot slower than the speed shown in the video
Riding that to the top is LEGIT the most terror-inducing thing I can think of right now.
Some of you really haven’t experienced life…

Decades ago I was an underground Miner. This video reminded me of how we traveled underground in a particular vertical shaft mine. The "cage" was open front and back and suspended by cable. The size of the cage was about the same as the elevator in the video or around the same as an old telephone box. Four of us would travel down the shaft with each of us back to back with another. Very nerve racking being inches away from the rock face and going past each open level. Just preyed that no-one had an involuntary movement or sneezed or something. As the cage was coming to your level it would slow down and stop, yet the cage would continue to bounce up and down a little as the cable expanded and contracted. It was like you were a tea bag being jiggled in the cup. 😅
sounds scary
😮
Thanks for the story, may you continue to have safer days! 😅
This is so interesting! Thank you for sharing
Fascinating! You don't hear people having those type of jobs much these days, at least where I live.

This elevates my heart rate. This is something I would see in a bad dream
Nice
nah that’s how you end up in the back rooms i’m good
Ok you have a good point to not go. not that I would.
I have an innate fear of escalators, and I don’t know why. They just scare the fvck out of me and I refuse to use them. I handle elevators just fine. This contraption falls under the hell no list
Same here. I’m afraid I’d trip, escalator falls during movement, and I can’t help but imagine my shoe could get stuck or shredded at the start and bottom. Maybe it’s because when it comes to elevators you don’t have to feel you need to rush but idk 😅
That’s me with cops
Honestly escalators can be fairly dangerous, I don’t blame you for refusing to use them. When I was little I used to love them, but the internet has exposed me to so much that I tend to avoid them too.
maybe you're afraid of visibly moving parts... opinion of ferris wheels?
I also fear escalators, and open staircases. Pretty sure I'd pass out before trying to step in it. Or in it.
That looks amazing
If you don't leave fast enough before it goes in the ground, you'll find yourself into the backrooms
Here before this blows up 😅
nah fr this elevator has to be one of the entrances to the backrooms
This is definitely the most logical way I've heard to enter the backrooms

It just stops with no other option but to enter the back rooms

An important context clue shows that you are lying about the speed. 10 seconds and 20 seconds at that speed? That building would be massive with incredible distances between floors that wouldn't make any sense. These move slower than a modern elevator.
Could you please explain more I'm confused. He isn't saying it's a fast elevator just that it's a cool one. But I may be wrong
It isn't, i live near its like 5 floors max
@@ZeroHitmen he is
@Zero Hitmen he speed up the video to make it look faster. When someone is stepping on it is slower. When it is fast look at the hands on people and they shake because the video is speed up
I don’t think he lied about it, it was obvious he sped it up to fit it in a short.
OMG I literally have nightmares EXACTLY like this all the time! Although its usually going way faster and/or free falls so fast your on the ceiling lol

I took my late mum to visit my university's library where they had one of these. She loved it. The one that I used moved slower than this one appears to do, so getting on and off was no big deal.
If elevators like the 1 on this video goes extra slower then I'll definitely try it out
In German an office building had one of these and you were required to do a test to get a license to use it.
There was a security guard in front of it to check your "license"
Surely if you fail that you should be made to retake a driving test shortly after too !? 😂
There's one in Munich at the German patent office and you don't need any kind of license
we have one at university of applied sciences Hochschule Niederrhein in Germany
We have/had one in the court building in Lübeck. I saw it 10 years ago. Back then there was no license control. Don't know if it is still there. I hope so, because it's way faster than 2 ordinary elevators. To get everyone where they need to go
