I was trapped in an elevator for 1 and a half hours I was informed by the guy that came to get me out I was one of the calmest people he has rescued from an elevator. I was just bored and a little annoyed I didn’t have my crochet and my phone was low on battery. I still use that elevator at the clinic I go to.
I am sick of people posting lies. This is a deliberate attempt to dumb people down. What happened is the lift went into nudge mode and ignored the beam sensors. The lift started moving as the doors closed enough for safety to connect. The lift started moving and when the umbrella hit the top it forced the doors open and broke safety leaving the lift stuck. The lift didn’t freefall. Saying it free falled is very inaccurate and is unacceptable. Also if it freefalled it would have gone upwards because the lift is under half capacity.
I work with elevators all the time, I can pretty much tell you what happened here. The kid held the door open for so long that it “timed out”. Meaning it was gonna close and reset “no matter what was blocking it”. After closing the elevator would do 1 of 3 things: – stop at the midway point between the highest and lowest floors – go to the main lobby – sit there until it figured out what floor it was on. That elevator didn’t drop. Speed looked normal to me. Lesson to be learned here is never try and stop the doors by putting something in between them. If that was his arm, this would be a different story.
As an elevator mechanic, this hurts to watch. The elevator worked properly and definitely did not free fall. NEVER try to pry the door open with your hands. You can try pressing the door open button but if it shut down your safest bet is to wait for someone trained to let you out. The town I live in literally had someone die from prying the doors open while stuck inside an elevator (in 2006) and my coworker had to give the paramedics access to the pit of the elevator shaft to get the guy out. He was still conscious and ended up dying in the hospital later but it was a very traumatic experience for everyone involved.
I raced a couple coworkers to the elevator in a hotel once so i could make em wait for the next one lol. I was so excited and pleased with my victory i jumped up and down with joy once the doors shut. That fucker quit working, i got stuck a floor and a half up. I had to call the front desk from the elevator for help, i heard my buddies going up the elevator next to mine, theyre voices fading up the elevator shaft. The fire department got me out, they had some funny looks for me lol. The entire time i had to piss like a racehorse, even before i got in.
I hope DFS dealt with these parents accordingly. People are too hard on good people, who make sure they’re children are safe, before having a one time emergency they can’t do anything about, when they’re child is actually safe. This was totally avoidable, but child is in true danger when awake, free, and on the move. Child is in danger in hot car, cold car, car period. Keep your eyes, and hands on your child. I’ve seen so many accidents here on YouTube, where people are truly negligent. This was truly a blessed accident, but, DFS needs to always be involved. You need time off to focus on your child.
An elevator tech here – the elevator was moving down at a normal speed, not at “free fall”. The umbrella that got stuck there probably either triggered some safety mechanism, or otherwise opened the safety circuit, and the elevator stopped. Nothing particularly unusual or dangerous here. What is more dangerous, is, as sometimes can happen, that someone goes to the elevator with a dog on a leash, and doesn’t pay attention, and the dog wonders outside the elevator, the doors close, and the leash is stuck between the doors. A dog can get strangled in such a situation. Many elevators have a “stop” button that you can press, if something like that happens.
The same thing happened to me as a kid. Not that i had an umbrella but i managed to stop the elevator in between the floors by messing up with the doors. When i realized what i did, i instinctively tried to open the doors with my bear hands too. The interesting thing is that i succeeded on opening the doors and i could see the concrete wall that was infront of me. It was weird seeing like “a door that opens to a wall”. Either way, that feeling of trying to grasp the time and knowing that you could be trapped in the elevator for who knows how long is not something that i would recomend for anyone to feel.
all this article really taught me was the real reason i am stuck waiting for the elevator everyday in my apartment building – becasue people are constantly messing around ‘holding’ the elavator waiting for other family members etc instead of using it when they are actually ready to leave. might sound a bit pedantic but when you live on the 27th floor and people are doing this it is infuriating
Why would it free fall. It would just break. The umbrella and/or go in some alarm mode. Elevators actually do free fall. If the motor/breaks fail, it goes up, and yes still dangerous as it accelerates faster than normal. For it to free fall, you would need to cut the cables and emergency breaking system, that’s on the guid rails.
Poor thing… that happened to me to. I was in the elevator with my dog and the elevator suddenly stopped. I was stuck in ther for 10 minutes but for me it seems like years. My dog didn’t know what was happening but I think it was worried because I was screeming for help and crying (I know… I really overreacted but I was really scared and 12 years old) For some reason the panic button wasn’t working and there was no one outside the door. I hugged my dog and waited. I scream many times “HELP” and “MOM… DAD” but no one heard me. I was scared to death. Even the lights were off and it was dark. Suddenly, the elevator started and for some reason it went on the floor where my house was. I started crying, grab my dog and started knocking the door of my house. When my parents open the door I hug them and tell them what happened. I was shaking. My parents said to me that I shouldn’t be so hysterical but they really supported me and tell me to always be careful…. That’s my story and sorry if my grammar sucks Edit: thx for the likes💓
In 5th grade, I got stuck in an elevator for 2 hours (luckily with a friend) and it fell from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor, and my friend’s arm got hurt pretty bad. No broken bones, maybe just a small sprain. Because of this experience, I’m not even sure if I would call this a free fall either, due to it only going from one floor to another. The kid in the elevator just got lucky. He didn’t experience falling in one. He just got trapped for maybe 20 minutes and was let out.
Come on Facts Verse. First the misleading thumbnail, and then the shitty excuses for why these actors are here. Some of these people don’t look as you guys make them appear. Yes, we know people age and start to look different. That’s life. This is very disappointing. This was my favorite facts website, but now I don’t know if you guys are going to continue the whole click bait thing. I know this will be lost in the comments, but I just had to speak my mind.
This is one of the defects of society. These articles cause many people to feel badly about their looks as society expects then to looks perfect/ forever young. Of course, if we do not take care of our bodies, we will see the negative effect, but most people simply grow older/old and will most likely look much different from a younger self.
