Loved it in the early 80s. Brilliant simple design. Far safer than a stair case. Still remember going over the top with Doddso. We kept bottling it so in the end we held hands to ensure neither of us jumped off. Big fear was unbalancing it, causing it to stop and getting caught. Happy days

Used it between 2002-2005 ❤

Brilliant. I wish these would be in Canada.

I first used this lift in the late '60s having left the union bar over thr road , fortified with several pints of the newly installed draught cider at under 10p a pint . The question more on my mind was -- Has anyone decapitated themselves yet on the thing ?

Unfortunately this would never exist in the USA, after the sue happy people were done with every place that has one of these the ADA (American’s with Disabilities Act) grifters (the a-holes that shut down your favorite old restaurants because they aren’t wheelchair accessible and would cost more than the entire building is worth to make it wheelchair accessible) would have a field day with every building owners that still had one of these as well. Also think of all the dumb kids and even adults that manage to kill themselves on all of the escalators in America every year, though I’m sure that number has gone down now that no one goes to malls anymore…

They nicked a lot of ideas in this film from the one I was in on The One Show back in 2013

You would have to be an absolute idiot to have an accident in this thing. X

Used this one many times

Still looks scary to me, but not as scary as when my uncle's were working on the building, pre-H&S; sat on rails by a 255ft, windy, drop?! www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?searchterms=topping+out+ceremony+Arts+tower&action=search&keywords=all%3BCONTAINS%3B%25topping%25%3BAND%3Ball%3BCONTAINS%3B%25out%25%3BAND%3Ball%3BCONTAINS%3B%25ceremony%25%3BAND%3Ball%3BCONTAINS%3B%25Arts%25%3BAND%3Ball%3BCONTAINS%3B%25tower%25%3B

Im not good at English so i was reading the title what i thought: p*rnoster lift I know im stupid

And now - the perfect solution for these Covid19 times!

Wot, no comments ? On my 'to do' list.

Repeating prayers in vain does nothing!

I bet this doesn't exist any more. Shame.

its funny how they are trying very hard to hide the fact of massive load applied on the rotor and wire ropes.. when you are trying to disregard the force, that is how you get forced.

1:48 "You know he had to do it to 'em"

I remember being filmed for this in 2013

And I thought getting on the escalator was scary.

Outro *FAIL* as he says _"... an UPLIFTING experience"_ as he goes DOWN... someone clearly wasn't thinking when coordinating this scene. Duh.

Yo, this is a pretty cool video and a pretty cool place. Do you happen to have and address for this place or know how to get there from a near by 'landmark'?

So they're called Paternosters because they resemble rosary beads? I used to think it was because you say a prayer every time you get in one.

EVERY student tries going over the top. It's a rite of passage.

they're all over eastern Europe. I've seen them in Slovakia, Hungary and Poland

It took ten minutes for the normal lift to merely get ten people to the top in that challenge? Wat?

Theres one at my University in Leicester, I take it most days :)

so you have to jump on and off? And if you time it wrong, you fall, you get stuck, crushed, what? That's insane.

I'll take the stairs. Fuck that shit.

So........... when will we see some paternosters in the US? Oh that's right... never! :(

Good Work Mayesey, this goes some way to explaining why you seemed so knackered.
