Paternoster Lift at the Arts Tower - One Show

[@mojosbigsticks]

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

[@unlokia]

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

[@lieutenantkettch]

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.

[@papaj9386]

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

[@paulaeinoeder]

Used it between 2002-2005 ❤

[@ZoeBassSheehan]

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

[@unlokia]

I hope you return it.

Not anymore unfortunately

[@rascal342]

And I thought getting on the escalator was scary.

[@anthonymaye597]

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

[@Okurka.]

None of those countries are in Eastern Europe.

[@gbartlett57]

I remember being filmed for this in 2013

[@petercooper5201]

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

[@Markcool2011]

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

[@millomweb]

Should have had 50 take the stairs too !

[@papaj9386]

@@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.

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Brilliant. I wish these would be in Canada.

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

[@unlokia]

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

[@deltorso]

Used this one many times

[@lindalojkaskova1497]

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

[@gootubeperson7581]

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

[@emilypowell1405]

Most people in the UK won't even get to ride one anyway since only students are allowed in the building.

[@chanjoyseng673]

Yes, the building is open to everyone. There is even a café at the basement. :)

[@MEGACAMZ]

I'll take the stairs. Fuck that shit.

[@theknightlynews]

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

[@millomweb]

If your body interferes with it, it'll stop !

[@caroleast9636]

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.

[@manuhonkanen2111]

Repeating prayers in vain does nothing!

[@mehitabel1290]

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

[@millomweb]

Pretty sure it's still there !

[@tomv3361]

Of course it does

[@michellecollins-betz736]

One does still operating in Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow England, only used for the staff.

[@wmhazim5030]

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.

[@millomweb]

No wire ropes on that !

[@caroleast9636]

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