@Argenpoirot I know it’s fight or flight but he’s gotta have titanium nerves cause ain’t no way this would even be an option for me 😓 sad he didn’t make it tho, thought this was gonna be a happy ending story
Sketchy elevator moments 👀
Elevators look terrifying in these clips, but the data tells a quieter story.
Most of the “sketchy” moments going around are door faults, not free-falls. Debris in the sill track, a dirty light-curtain sensor, a misaligned interlock, or a power blip will stop the car on purpose. That is the safety system doing its job. Modern traction and hydraulic units have governors, multiple redundant circuits, and emergency comms for a reason.
U.S. estimates put passenger entrapment around 1 in 100,000 trips. Fatal incidents across elevators and escalators combined average roughly two dozen a year in a country with hundreds of millions of rides. Getting stuck is uncomfortable. It is rarely the catastrophe the algorithm wants you to feel.
What actually helps if it happens:
• Press the alarm and intercom. Stay put.
• Do not pry the doors or try to climb out. The shaft is the dangerous part, not the car.
• Jumping to “test” it (the first clip) can trigger a safety stop. Don’t.
The viral compilations are entertaining because they compress rare failures into two minutes. Real reliability comes from boring maintenance: clean tracks, working phones, current inspections. Two-thirds of inspected lifts in recent European reports still show some defect; most are minor and fixable before they strand anyone.
Watch the video for the laughs. Then treat the next elevator like the engineered box it is instead of a horror short.

@ThatG4m It’s because, for the moment 🧐, Man City has scored 1 more goal than Arsenal… but Man U is hopefully gonna actually do their job for once n assist us on Sunday; restoring the balance with Gunners back on top 😏
@TLRailUK is my life a joke to you? So everything & anything is just happening anywhere & everywhere all over your entire network rn?? ATP can you just list trains you are running, because that’ll be easier. I mean it shouldn’t take long, cancellation list is real extensive 🧐
@MegaMindUP@isaiahrobinlive You’re conflating equality with erasure. Galatians 3:28 doesn’t say male and female don’t exist, any more than it says Jews or Gentiles don’t exist. It’s about equal standing before God, not redefining biological reality
@ArbbiMane@nyamal he fact you think ‘they were calm’ is stronger evidence than actual footage, witnesses or an investigation says more about your reasoning skills than it does about what happened
@333Boots@DaveLloydd@aware_wanderer And what was the reasonable suspicion? Because they “don’t know what’s happened” ? If so, that raises more questions… like why was a kid, that wasn’t present & had just arrived at the scene, targeted for arrest over any persons that were present before him?
