Mainly they're installed here now for moving goods between floors, but I thought there was talk of a company designing one with doors? ... Not sure how that would work .. and spoils the fun really

I could see how someone's bright idea could land themselves in a world of pain. Mainly because so many people are lawsuit happy...I would never see this fly in the US (today or yesteryear). There are too many people who have to have "caution hot coffee" written on their cups, to take the stupidity factor to a whole new level. This elevator is a prime example of one man's floor is another man's ceiling.
