Has anybody seen a Jackshaft Garage Door Opener in action?

No motor, chain or bar on ceiling. It mounts on the wall and connects
directly to the torsion bar.

Interesting.

Seems to do everything except allow you into the garage if it fails;
there's a manual release but it seems like it only can be used if you
are inside the garage. Might be a problem in a stand-alone garage
that doesn't have a conventional 'person' door.

and how would that differ from a conventional opener in that respect?
