What could you do if such an incident did happen to you? Of course, and most fortunately, such occurrences seldom come into our lives. Nevertheless, it does not mean that it can never happen. Therefore, isn't it good to know what can be done at such a frightening moment if it ever takes place? Well, recently, I received an email from a friend in which was related such a happening. So, just for a little useful information, please read on: |
This happened to a friend.
"One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it began falling from level 13 at a fast speed. Fortunately, I remembered having watched a TV program that taught me that the occupants of the lift must quickly press all the buttons for all the levels. Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level." (What a huge relief!)

Important things to remember:
When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions you make will determine the outcome of the situation. Your survival will be at stake.
If you are caught in a lift breakdown, the first thought that comes to mind may be 'just wait to die'...

First - Quickly press all the buttons for all the different levels of the lift.
When the emergency electricity supply is activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.
Second - Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).... It is to support your position and

Second - Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).... It is to support your position and
prevent you from falling
or getting hurt should you lose your balance.
Third - Lean your back and head against the lift wall keeping your back in a straight line.
Third - Lean your back and head against the lift wall keeping your back in a straight line.
Leaning against the
wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.
Fourth - Bend your knees Your ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. Thus, there is better hope of getting less severe fractures resulting from the impact.

Well, I must admit I have no experience with such happenings and, therefore, am unable to vouch for the above mentioned advice. Hopefully, an expert on the matter, can make comments on it and help make the necessary changes.
