Yes. Some individuals choose to DIY or go with unproven low bidders that don’t follow the national elevator safety code, pull permits, use quality components or even have basic things like product liability insurance, warranties and customer service. Unfortunately there can be severe consequences for choosing this route including serious injury and litigation. Like vertical elevators, these systems can be dangerous if improperly engineered and installed. In fact, the consequences for flaws are even greater as these systems endure more stress over their lifetime due to their exposure to the elements.
