I tried several cites and I finally found a no hassle free cite.
If you are interested in seeing a really simple, fast, and SAFE single story 8' lift elevator capable of lifting 300 pounds in 10 seconds, go to:

Where did everyone go? Oh, yeah. Y'all come, ya hear?
*******You wouldn't catch me on that thing. Does your insurance agent know about it? I'll bet not! What happens if someones foot isn't all the way on the platform as you go up through the opening. Off go the toes! Lane

The elevator operates with the person facing the pipe (toes inward) and whose hand is on the momentary contact up/down switch. Yes, I will admit that at times I can feel my back brushing the top opening but the effect is so slight and the position is so far in the other direction as not to be any problem. Also, the speed is just 'right' as to be comfortable and controlable. The men and women who have ridden it have all been smiles. I bet that you would also like it if you tried it.
As far as insurance goes, I would rather live my life than worry about what someone else thinks about what I do. If my wife likes it, that is good enough for me. She loves it, uses it many times a day, and brags about my invention to all of her friends.
BTW I checked the regulations and it does not fall into any known category of elevator, man lift, or dumbwaiter.

This is fine until the day that somebody sues you.
Then all of a sudden, you will care a *lot* about what that insurance company man thinks.
