I mean, if I had killed him or attempted suicide there and then I would not have pryed open an elevator-shaft.<BR/>It's good that there is an investigation into it though as faulty elevators can be very dangerous.karlbollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974340335603124867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988870184363644257.post-15680860793327524512008-12-17T17:54:00.000-08:002008-12-17T17:54:00.000-08:00These are very horrifying and entirely realistic s...These are very horrifying and entirely realistic situations. Few of us ever stop to think when we are standing outside an elevator door waiting for the car that the door is all that stand between us and a very long fall. <BR/><BR/>In the cases described in this note, the person stuck pries open the door, thus removing that safety barrier and then begins to move near that open pit. It is a loooong way down!<BR/><BR/>As long as there is no fire, elevator cars are really very safe, so the advice to wait it out is definitely the right advice.Dr.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360786634583725263noreply@blogger.com
