Paternosters -- continuously circulating elevators without doors which passengers hop on and off of -- were once common in Europe, but have now largely disappeared as a result of modernization or because of safety or accessibility concerns. The Czech capital Prague still has 28 working paternosters and an avid group of devotees.

Wonderful! They should make more of them. They clearly are not dangerous. And the disabled can just stop them to get on and off (so a start/stop button in every car/floor should be added to new ones). They seem far better for not-too-tall buildings than silly elevators. Thanks for this video. ☮

I think there should just be elevators for disabled people. Even if it is just a platform at the staircase. Paternosters can more way more people than elevators. But stairs (electric or not) can move more people than Paternosters.

@@thesignalnotthenoise1670 Fine. You go to a hospital and tell all those people in wheelchairs that they should 'sort out their own shit without slowing everyone down'? I guarantee that you don't have the guts. You trolling, piece of excrement. We are done here. Bye, incel.

They may have some give to those grids and also may just be able to temporarily take the grid off. Boom you put your foot back in and we help the other guy. I don't know this just a hypothesis but I feel confident in it.

Oh, well, functioning brain is definitely needed to use them. If we make everything idiot-proof, we are just enabling stupidity. We should not make everything idiot-proof. We should replace stupidity with common sense and discipline by education. And people also need to start to take responsibility for their actions instead of blaming (sueing) others and playing the victim all the time.

@@TheThriftyGma they could go slower for hospitals lol. Funny thing to imagine. But I still think it would be more effective after seeing the safety mechanism. The only problem would be if you miss the first carage and need to get the second but that will still be faster than waiting for one of 4 single elevators. I see your thinking but compared to the average wait time of a normal elevator and having to say wait on average for the second cart to go past before getting on I still think it’s more efficient.
