Prety wild. I'm going to go back and ride it all the way around and film it.

You are unlikely to see this primitive elevator in any country with an agressive tort system as the author points out its not all that difficult to misjudge the speed and timing of getting on and off.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584838187019879654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-39787930158720014262010-09-14T07:27:20.707+02:002010-09-14T07:27:20.707+02:00One of Prague's official buildings (Ministry o...One of Prague's official buildings (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has one of those lifts. I got to ride it on one of my last stamp-finding missions of 2009.<br /><br />http://www.radio.cz/en/article/85507<br /><br /><i>Matti Jyrkinen: "Yes there must be this safety device. But it's not so sensitive that before it stops the paternoster, your arm or your leg can be already broken. So that's the biggest risk. I am 100% sure that a well-maintained paternoster will have these safety equipment in place and they are working, but it's a question of, let's say 1 cm - if it doesn't stop immediately something can be already broken!<br /></i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-5799340150351760602010-09-13T12:37:26.468+02:002010-09-13T12:37:26.468+02:00Thanks, Karen.

I was alone, I had no Virgil to lead me into this peculiar looping hell, but I can assure you the gears do not grind you up...instead you are drawn in a bizarre loop that no elevator in the world can offer...none other than the PATERNOSTER, the LEVIATHAN of human elevation!!Stewart Kenneth Moore (Booda)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13433880298354408814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-61039339799487941402010-09-11T21:05:29.812+02:002010-09-11T21:05:29.812+02:00Exactly!

Although it's apparently named after rosary beads, because the paternoster travels in a loop, similar to a rosary.Grant Podelcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046561738258645391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335408565106024505.post-36202767180547358592010-09-11T20:26:17.661+02:002010-09-11T20:26:17.661+02:00From the Latin, OUR FATHER, who art in Heaven, whe...From the Latin, OUR FATHER, who art in Heaven, where I will soon be if I miss my floor........JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692103477055483000noreply@blogger.com
