Paternoster elevators

From Wikipedia, an article on Paternoster elevators. These elevators are a series of cabins (not just one) that move perpetually on a circuit. They are still in use in some parts of Europe, but they're disappearing because they're apparently dangerous. Pfft.

This video [YouTube] shows these amusing inventions in use, to the tune of a catchy Ventures song. Here is another one. I basically want to go on a Paternoster tour. Or install one in my house. (There are actually tons of videos of these on YouTube. Why haven't I heard of them before? Stupid Canada.)

I think what appeals to me about these is that they don't follow the common modern pattern of trying to idiot-proof everything. You have to stay on your toes to ride one of these babies, and if you screw up, you could DIE. (Well, maybe not.) It also seems like, in addition to their other benefits, these elevators would be good for when you are being chased by bad guys, because they can't see which floor you get off on.
