In 2019, there was an accident at Stuttgart Rathaus in which an employee suffered a broken bone, according to city officials, but was still able to see a doctor on his own. Further details about the accident are not known. There were parliamentary moves to ban paternosters in Germany some time ago. However, the Bundesrat prevented this at the time. Later, operation was re-regulated with stricter safety requirements. This then mainly concerned the installation of all kinds of signs about the correct way to get on and off and to remain calm during the turnaround if you missed the last exit. Personally, I would guess that most accidents are falls from getting on too late going down or too early going up.
