University of Leicester has one. I know someone who had to ride it (for the first time) on the way to her PhD defense. Truly unnecessary added pressure.

Corpus Delectable - 2011-12-19 Was it in the Attenborough building? Because that one's a great paternoster!

WHO, IN GOD'S NAME, THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?
Many, many grown adult people were involved in the creation, design and construction of this thing and none of them ever said, "Wait, maybe this isn't such a good idea."

It culls the slow & clumsy.

Don't know how appropriate the music is; if I was anywhere near this thing, I would probably do the opposite of the song title.

...what happens at the top? Like, if the building is 12 stories tall, and you accidentally miss that stop, will you get flipped upside-down as the thing reverses direction? ...because I can see a lot of little old ladies breaking their hips, if that's the case.

Inspired by the Quake 3 engine and its homicidal elevators.

Do they call it a paternoster because you say a prayer before you use it?

This is a liability waiting to happen.

Never knew this existed til now. I actually thought of something similar but dismissed it as a bad idea for the obvious reasons. Seems like it has a kill switch near the top of each floor just in case your head is sticking in the shear zone. I could still see lots of ways for it to fail.

Nobody know what happens when you reach... THE 13TH FLOOR. *thunder clap*

As a kid, I thought these things were only found in Italy.

I am a slightly clumsy person by nature due to a slight handicap I've had since birth. Because of this I have to pay attention when I'm going down stairs (or fall on my butt) and avoid escalators if I can. Pretty sure if I used this thing on a daily basis it would only be so long until something magical happened.

Never rode in a paternoster, but I think a man-lift in a grain elevator is the next scariest means of conveyance.
