Tested with parties and assignment, it works. But not every time these dwarves step on a plate, so be careful with magma showers and the like.

While testing I discovered that, well applied, it is a great way to train dwarves' swimming skill:
Code: [Select]
Z:
OOOOOO
OΩ#^L.
OOOOO>

Z-1:

OOOOOO
~~~OOO
~OOOO<
~~~~X~

O - wall
Ω - statue
# - grate
^ - pressure plate(linked to grate)
~ - 7\7 water
> - downstairs
< - upstairs
X - floodgate(open by default)
L - lever(linked to floodgate)

Try it, you will laugh your entrails off your wounds. The dwarf you assign the statue to will run like a squirrel in a cage. And you can make it a drowning chamber just by pulling the lever.

UPD:
Dwarves dodge from the bridge sometimes, changed it to grate.

That works nicely, but don't assign anyone who's likely to be carrying babies to it.
Saying that, the Duchess is still ecstatic.
