People climb up stairs. People at top get in bungivator. Doors close. Bungivator rope stretches, stopping at floors to pick up more people. Bungivator lets people off at ground floor. Bungivator is brought back to to with elastic energy.
People climb up stairs.
So yes, people can only ride down,
but think of the energy savings!

[+] Can I get in on the ground floor and be flung up to the top, 'reverse bungee' style? I'm prepared to sign a waiver... |
|

It would add an element of excitement to going down, not knowing whether it'll be a slow, floor-by-floor descent, or a quick sproing all the way down. I like it. |
|
| |
Ah. I thought this was going to be a stretchy bungston strung between floors. But + |
|
| |
Ah okay, so it's "Bunj-ih-vat-er," not "Bung-ih-vat-er." You don't want to know what I thought it was. |

I only buy BUNGCO products. Beware imitations! |

You might make it go down with, say, 10 people, and then it will be able to bring back around six or so people. |
|
| |
So yes, only some people can ride up, but all of them can ride down! + |
|
| |
Hmmmmmm, you are right, you could make it so some people could ride up... |
|
| |
It could be the first elevator in history that people will hold the door open for more people if they are in a hurry, rather than hope it closes as soon as possible. Perfect for college students, who enjoy random things such as riding an elevator and cramming people into telephone booths. |

And, what [RayfordSteele] said. |

Cute, missing one thing...sadly, an illustration. Are there no artist left around here? Drawings so enhance an idea, I think. (+ Mr. Fox.) |
