After being “launched” from the despinner, you would find yourself hovering stationary next to the ring.
Air resistance.
That is, however, basically the system I proposed near the end, for use near the center of a cylinder where speeds would be low.
Intended for use in vacuum. I guess if it’s more of a cylinder than a ring this wouldn’t always be faster than an elevator system though.
