Guillotine springs to mind

They dont though as the floor sections above you (the fixed bits) hinge up to stop that and so do the upper parts of the boxes you ride in (to protect on the way down).

We have a large Paternoster storage system at work that goes up the equivalent of three stories. I've always wanted to lay in it and have a ride around, but the problem being it would need someone else to press the tray number to get me back out again. 
Goes a bit quicker than passenger ones though.

  The paternoster lift is still alive and working fine at Essex Uni, I work there on the electrical maintenance team.

There was a paternoster in the library at Essex University when I was there '89-92. That didn't invert if you went over the top, but you could do a handstand as it did so to confuse the freshers.

Had one in Sheffield Hallam uni 96-00, we used to do the same thing

Good to know.

I feel for you if you have to look after the electrics in the towers if they are still anything like they were when I was there. The lifts there were "interesting" too. Once had the doors open on the 12th floor, but lift was at the 13th.

Was a little the worse for wear at the time, but had the presence of mind not to try to get into it, fortunately.
