I love this visual, but elevators have way more safety mechanisms than poorly-designed web sites. Check out the source HTML of instagram.com for a great example. /-:

Well, my point isn't about safety, it's about usability. Escalators can still be used as stairs when they fail. Elevators can't be used at all.
