    “Modern lifts are so idiot-proof you could use them in your sleep,” says Mr. Pfaff. “In fact, they are disenfranchising. Paternosters make you free to hurt yourself if you don’t pay attention.”

I understand the sentiment, but I am not sure that my three year old would benefit from the freedom.

Still, it's not like a subway station, or even a road is much different when you see them as things moving by somewhat close that can kill you. Crosswalks don't have doors.
