Oh. This reminds me of the old elevator at a place I lived years ago, that only had an accordion gate to separate it from the moving walls. My guests were often saying it "looked like the elevators in Titanic".

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

is that a window or a cat flap?
I was heading down when I took the photo, it is a window
So the front of the elevator doesn't have an internal door? I'm unnerved.
So everyone can just see your feet as you go floor to floor?
No, I was wearing shoes.
I rode on one that size in Uzbekistan. We crammed 4 of us into it.. It did have a inner door which is better .
Luckily it was only like 5 floors so it didn't take long.
I've been in an elevator like this once. It made a bunch of scary sounds and did that shit that a roller coaster sometimes does as it's going up a big slop where it feels like it slips a little bit. I used the stairs the rest of the time I was there.
How many floors high was it?
also oh no you have activated my trap card
I love caving. Show me a hole in the ground and if I can fit in it, I'm going in.
I would take the stairs everyday instead of getting in that thing.
My stage name is The Ground

Dull to most, but a terrifying nightmare for others.
I was wearing my backpack, I had to back into the elevator as there wasn't really room to turn around inside
That's a no from me, dawg.
Absolutely fucking awful...the elevator, not you.
Elevators without an inner door are quite common in Sweden, but most elevators are bigger than this.
That's something that really fascinates me after moving here. Sweden has a lot of water wings on stuff compared to the US but the elevators feel like they were designed to cull the weakest
That's terrifying. I can imagine a strap hanging off like a backpack or something and getting caught in the gap as the elevator rises.
Amount of room was my issue... not the lack of door... tbh, I didn't even notice the lack of door
Did you die?
Not yet.
Did you live?
So far, yes.
If you are still in there, I would have serious concerns over its destination.
it just orbits the Earth in a great circle
eh, it's not THAT great of a circle…
I WAS BORN ON EARTH YOU SUMVABITCH, YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH
Just realized: Does the cabin not have a door??
Then it would be not dull, but terrifying! 😳
Elevators without an inner door are quite common in Sweden.
They do have safety mechanisms to detect dangerous situations, but we have these fun signs on many of them...
⚠️
Risk of crushing
🧑💥
Dangerous to transport goods in elevators that lack an inner door or gate
(for anyone else that is curious what it says)
nope it says risk of clams you can't lie to me
Mmmmm, steamed clams
Also, I love the term "Klämrisk".
This is exactly what deliberate fake-Swedish would look like :-)
Be careful! There might be clams!
Had mainly to chuckle because it just looks like the enswedification of the German word "Klemmrisiko". :-)
YOU GOT KLAMMED!
