For those who couldnt read it, it says "Someone didnt make it 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 wasnt at the top and staff was around.They got it going within 15 minutes." Edit:Thanks for the likes
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.
@@yeet9703 But he was talking about how you have a small window of time to “time it right” when if you actually see the normal footage it’s pretty obvious that you have tons of time and it’s nowhere near as dangerous as he describes. Damn people are so easily susceptible to misinformation as long as it’s a video with thousands of views lmao
@@yeet9703 the only content really is his narration, hed be able to fit it under 1 minute if he just took out a couple of the random clips of people using the elevator.
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
DO NOT stay on the elevator past the last stop. The lift can't support this much weight up there (hence why you hear it creak so much in the video). There has been such an influx of tourists because of tiktok that they had to close the elevator multiple times just to fix it because people don't care to use it properly.
@@darknessrises948 people don't quite do that usually you cannot expect a person to jump off the elevator at the correct stop without hesitating especially for people with anxiety
for all the anxious people out there, this video is heavily sped up to boost viewer watchtime and trigger anxiety. its a whole lot slower in real life.
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.
Imagine fighting a guy and he runs to this elevator, and now you have to chase him on every floor it goes to until he leaves the elevator. Would be top tier action comedy.
@@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.
@@Whatever-gx3un I just saw a different person with the exact same comment and link. No. N. o. I see you people in these comments with your links and your "iT's ThE cLiP yOu WaNtEd"....... I mean what I say and I say what I mean: I'll never click any of your links and neither will anyone who thinks. 🤓😎
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
In the 1980s Leeds University (where my father worked) had one of these. It's since been removed, but I do remember riding it as a kid - and I actually enjoyed going over the top!
@TheNoiseySpectator Nah, it just goes round the gear like in the video. It's perfectly safe but there are signs saying not to do it because it damages the mechanism
Me with my overall anxiety and established fear of elevators as well. I don’t know how he stayed in there that long. The clanky metal noises and the fact that he said it broke down did not help 😭
dude elavators are scary.. the weightess feeling they give when they start moving feels terrible and it's so cramped i also hate escalators, i always get scared they're gonna swallow my feet 💀
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.
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.
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 RU-vid 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.
The text at the end said: “Someone didn’t make it on in 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 fifteen minutes.”
If anyone missed the text at the end, it said: "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."
I live in Prague and noone ever dies or gets seriously injured (there's dumbasses who like try to jump on and hit their knees or head or ankles sometimes) in that elevator. It just looks scary and isn't actually very energy efficient unless it's in a building where people constantly use it.
Now to be fair, I wouldn't be to surprise how often people would just ride beyond the last floor either due to boredom or laziness, it would only really affect those that are on a deadline if broken down.
I had this in my university.. its pretty funny, no reason to be scared! The elevator was often out of service due to people going in with their bikes.. lol
for anyone who didn't see the message at the end "Then I got back on and it broke down" "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."
@@urmom-zr4es so idk if its on every version of the app, but for me on the app you can use the bottom like a progress bar to skip ahead and go back, just press and hold near the bottom before going left or right
They don't break down. There is a sensor on the mesh part of the elevator. So when you're going up and you put your foot between the bottom of the elevator and the top of the mesh, it trips a switch and stops the elevator. You would seriously have to try if you wanted to hurt yourself on one of those.
@@Alex-tu5vu I ride one every day they don't break down. They stop every now and again when someone trips the sensor but then someone resets it and its runing again in a few minutes.
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.
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
