Not without its risks though:

"Sir Stirling Moss recovering in hospital after fall down lift
shaft

Having survived several crashes, including the one that forced
his premature retirement from motor sport in 1962, Sir Stirling
Moss's powers of recovery are undergoing another stern test
following a potentially lethal accident at his home.

Moss, 80, suffered two broken ankles, four broken bones in his
foot, skin abrasions and four chipped vertebrae when he fell down
three floors of a lift shaft in his town house in Mayfair.

A statement from the Moss family said: "The door to the lift,
that should have remained locked if the lift was not on the floor
that it was called from, opened in error. He stepped into the
narrow open shaft in the expectation that the lift would be
present for him to walk into, as it should have been.""
