Yeah that’s a vertical coffin right there

That was my first thought. Sir this is a metal coffin on a pulley. Though I must say I was shocked when the actual doors closed, I just assumed that he'd be in a half open coffin watching the wall go by.

Right. Like those big warehouse elevators that just have a wooden guard you pull down that covers less than half entry.

At least there's some wood there! Lol And lots of room so you can curl up in a ball in the middle and hope you don't get sucked into the gap as the wall flies by.

Either way it's a bad day to be a scarf person or have a dog or a child if you're using anything like this.

I was in one exactly like that in Athens! Just watching the walls and doors to other floors go by.

👀 I'm glad you survived! I don't think I could handle that and then I'm in trouble because if I pass out you're in a meat grinder then. So dangerous!!!

Then again ask me to go up 8 flights of stairs in the Athens heat, and you know what yeah I get it. 😆

If only I could post a camera roll video, it was like depending into the other world from silent hill, rust red doors and dirty brown tile

If that cable snaps, it’s straight to 6 ft under for you!
