A place where I worked in the 70s had a paternoster. It seemed fine in a workplace, where everyone is a reasonably healthy adult. They'd have some serious issues if used where children around. You need to be real careful not to let your toes stick out at the wrong moment.

Going over the top or bottom never caused any issues. We used to do that occasionally when we missed our floor.

That look like something you would find in those puzzle type video games (like Limbo).
