The Coolest Elevator Ever

Does it even count as an elevator? It's sort of like an escalator that just goes totally vertical. Either way, cool stuff!

I was so stupid and didn't even go on myself. Argh.

Should get this installed where I work. The standard elevators are an unreliable POS anyways (cheapest solution was chosen, no regards to other properties). Plus sides would be the female colleagues enormous backsides would be reduced to juicy tight a55es because they would be scared to ride this and would use the stairs, my incompetent coworkers would die (I know these are safe but I would kill them and make it look like they died in the elevator) :D

The danish parliament, called "Folketinget", has the same type of elevator.

@Jamiered18 A paternoster just rides over the top and bottom remaining vertical. You can stay in it without getting crushed or turned upside down.
