Unlike normal lifts these actually do seem rather dangerous :eek:

looks interesting, not seen one myself, i take they'll stop if someone is hanging out, can imagine the kids etc blocking them and leaving the other people stuck lol.

Don't know why I never knew about these or why I find them so awesome considering the relatively simple idea

They have ropes which get caught and stop the lift if people get trapped.

Had many a fun time at uni (Sheffield) messing about on that thing.
