I'm not sure one is all that much more dangerous than an escalator,
though I suppose there is the chance to get squashed on
boarding/alighting that isn't there with an escalator.

But where are they in the UK? I've not come across one for ages.

There was a whopper of one at Sheffield Uni ... don't know (but I doubt)
if it's still working.

AFAIAA no-one's actually explained what happens at the limit of travel -
quite boring really, if you're going up the car just goes sideways and
starts down the down side ... at the bottom the car goes sideways and
then starts up ... the car DOES NOT INVERT, only the jokers used to
stand on their heads during the sideways phase ...
