The one I know has several signs on the exposed inside walls above the topmost floor all assuring you that you will not be turned upside down, or folded, or run through a meat grinder.
Based on the adage that every (non-)warning sign is there for a reason, I can only assume that there have been incidents of people panicking after they realized they had gone to far.
Just to be clear: it’s absolutely safe to go around. Any other stories you may hear are the inside joke of those five beaurocrats on the top floor enjoying their tiny fiefdom of chaos.
Edit: could people downvoting this please give a reason? I’m really not complaining, just terribly curious what could possibly stroke people the wrong way in this benign post. Or is this the Paternoster conspiracy coordinating to keep their secret?
- TomMarius 9y agoSometimes they try to scare people because there are actually "hidden" rooms (for technical stuff) and they don't want them messing around there.
- Animats 9y agoJust to be clear: it’s absolutely safe to go around. There is a variation which isn't - the "man lift".[1] Those are dangerous, and sometimes seen in parking garages for staff only. Those really do turn upside down at the top. They're usually equipped with a switch to shut them down if someone rides past the top landing.
