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

Students don't need a lift to go over the top!

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.

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

It took ten minutes for the normal lift to merely get ten people to the top in that challenge? Wat?
@Markcool20116 жыл бұрын
Peter Cooper because it was stopping on other floors for other passengers. If they did a normal comparison with no other riders on the normal lift I’m pretty sure it would’ve won

@@Markcool2011that’s the whole point lifts do stop at other floors. How often do you get into a lift with 10 other people and everyone wants to go to the 18th floor with no one getting on or off on the way.

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

@caroleast9636 Жыл бұрын
0:05 You don’t have to jump. Just walk in naturally as the floors approach level. There are safety features to stop you getting crushed if you do misjudge it. They’re not for those with disabilities. There will always be other lifts for them to use and the waiting time will be reduced because of the people using the paternoster.

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.

1:55 They don’t use ropes like a lift. The cars are on chains, like giant bicycle chains
