[@DanielRenardAnimation]

I don't fear elevators plummeting to the ground, I fear them suddenly moving, while I'm getting in. Like how it happened for an unfortunate Chinese student, who was entering an elevator, when another student hit the button on a floor above. Poor engineering caused the elevator to move up, before the doors had safely closed. The student was trapped between the elevator floor and ceiling of the hall he was in. Rescue took several minutes, at which point he had already died from circulatory failure.

[@ArtisChronicles]

This has a simple answer: modern elevators dont use cables. They use a hydraulic system. If they failed the hydraulics would mean you'd slowly descend until you hit a certain level then stop.

[@94D33M]

The hydraulics extend up to more than 100 floors?

[@AntoinePelissier]

@@94D33M That's the point...

[@travisurban9784]

Modern elevators absolutely do use cables. Hydraulics are limited to low rise applications. But there is a simple answer nonetheless...traction elevators are equipped with speed governors that stop the car when it goes downward above the rated speed by 15-20%.

[@ihatealgebra2431]

The person who commented this had absolutely no ideas how lift company worked.

[@dragoonlordz]

I think for most people the fear of elevators isn't about the number of deaths or how safe they are. It's about control. On stairs and escalators the reason for your death will likely be your fault, not paying attention or doing something stupid. Something you could have avoided by paying attention and being cautious, in an elevator you have no real control and no real way of avoiding it if ever were unlucky enough to be in a situation where it fails and drops outside of simply not getting on the elevator in the first place.

[@vuilkreng]

Yes absolutely, I think the same goes for being afraid of an airplane crashing. I'd be frightened because I would not have any type of control in that situation.

you're more likely to trip on the stairs than to be in an elevator anyway so ya.

[@starlesseyes5713]

Staircases are the scenes of many deaths by tripping and murders. It's incredibly easy to murder someone without witness in a stairwell

[@community_elbow]

Here's the anwer: the cables are very strong, but if that fails, there are magnets that hold the elevator in place when the cables brake, if that fails there is a shock absorbent thing at the very bottom of the level of the elevator. Just saying all of this in its simplest form, you guys are welcome. Edit: Wow, 43 likes? I thought this comment was going to get lost in the comment section, thanks guys!

[@perkypears]

and to answer the question in the title, jumping wouldn’t help, bending your legs would just snap them apart when you crash if not for the shock absorber under the shaft, and laying on the floor with your arms and legs spread would help most by spreading the energy across your body

[@deonclod]

Elevator Always have 1 or 2 Governor Rope that are attached on commonly on Car and on the Counter Weight that automatically stop and holds the car or counter weight from free fall (snapped ropes) or when it exceeds the maximum speed as per the unit designed. It consider also a major safety component that will stop the elevator when their was a failure on the brake or snapped ropes (that are Very rare) due to most of the high rise elevator has 5-10 ropes, and just one of those ropes can support the entire Elevator unit. Also their will be additional safety buffers in the pit that will absorb the impact in case you hit the lowest floor. People are afraid of the Elevator because movies make them scary. But Elevator is much more safe than the staircase.

[@haileybalmer9722]

Don't worry about it. Elevator accidents are vanishingly rare, and if you're going to get killed by an elevator, it's most likely going to be the doors that kill you. Nah, you should be more worried about digging yourself too deep a hole at the beach, getting stuck in it, and drowning when the sea comes in. I just found out that happens WAY more than I thought it did.

[@itzmeese]

Instead of complaining about how long it is, think about how much effort the creators of the video put into it. They explained everything that you generally needed to know.

[@LTPRD-id3ch]

The Pynkachu it matters how much effort they put into it, true. but they still got a few things wrong. One example is that they failed to explain all of the other things in place to stop you from falling it's not just one cable suspending you in the air.

Well if the elevator crushes yeah, but the main point was your traveling at the same speed as the elevator in free fall.

We're sorry you feel this is too long, we aimed to cover as much of the physics involved with whole situation without making it too complicated to follow. The original script was much shorter, but it didn't cover the physics in detail and rather glossed over them.

That wouldn’t happen becuase the elevators have locks on the rails that guide it up the building. My father is an elevator installer and I will soon be too. If you want to test it out have about 5 to 10 people jump while in going up or down on an elevator. And you will find out what will happen. You won’t die the locks will lock and you will be stuck in there for like 8 to 10 hours

Becuse as kids they don't know that you will still have the same inertia as falling and when you jump you're still technically falling.

[@lilnye2625]

It will help a small bit, as some of the force will be absorbed by the elevator moving more downwards, but you have to understand that the elevator shaft is heavier than you. Try laying down and pushing on a heavy object. (This simulates freefall, as gravity isn't affecting any of horizontal axis.) you can see how you push off of the heavy object, not push the object away.

[@bagindov]

did u just assume the elevator's gender?

[@brettefantomet]

WHAT, aVaNi?! That is a ridiculously high number, that is way higher chance than i would assume, can you give me the source of that number? Elevators are designed by elevator engineers, not first graders, and they should be able to design a break that actually work, the tension(gravity pulling the cart down) between the cart and the cable holds the brakes in, when there is no longer this strong force down on the cable, the brakes on the elevator cart are pushed/pulled/falls out and hooks onto the walls of the shaft. This is just one of probably several security measures.

[@jovanbudac5379]

First thing, elevators can't fall. It is imposible. First you have brakes which activate if elevator moves even a tiny bit faster than it should. But If brakes go bad in 1 in 100000000 chances, you have oil buffers (those are like giant shock absorbers) on which will elevator land. Those buffers will reduce impact on ground for about 70%. So, no leg breaking. 😂 And i would know all of that becouse I am installer of elevators.

You have a better chance of being struck by lightening and winning the lottery the same day then free falling in a traction elevator. I’m an elevator mechanic

[@edh.3031]

I don't need to watch this video to tell you what would happen. You don't know the rise of the building. You don't know the rise of the elevator shaft, or spacing between floors, if there are any variations. You don't know the rated contract speed for the elevator, and probably less likely to know how to convert that ft/min into mph. You also don't know the pit depth or size of the buffers. Literally impossible to time a jump, or something of that sort. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO The good news is however, elevators are the safest mode of public transportation in the world. Depending on the specifications on the elevator construction, the elevator is usually suspended by 4 to 6 1/2 to 5/8th thick Independent core wire rope made from imoroved plow steel. One wire rope is enough to support the elevator and counterweight by itself. 6 is the standard number of hoisting cables. There is also another cable, that does not suspend the elevator. It is attached to a speed regulating governor that will trip and activate the safety underneath the elevator if the elevator goes 125% over contract speed. Wedging it against the rails stopping the elevator from a free fall. All elevators are designed to engage in safety in a free fall from the 2nd landing of the building. In the event the safety fails or does not activate, there are oil buffers in the pit designed to slow the elevator to a stop within 1g of force at 125% contract speed, and designed to withstand the weight of the elevator and it's full rated load. TLDR elevators are much safer than you know. All information provided is from myself, elevator constructor in NYC. Escalators are what you need to be afraid of, they will tear you up!

That’s what debunked has done here, and they have provided much more depth into a seemingly simple problem, to provoke curiosity. It’s beyond a “boring physics lesson”, and is meant to interest you in the topic, rather than just act as a vending machine for answers.

Hua En it’s great that you’re interested in why it happens but most people just really don’t care and want to know how to survive without watching an 11 minute video. I just think they should give the answer right when the video starts and then for everyone who wants to sit through an 11 minute video, all the other information can be given to them after the answer. It’s just unnecessary to spread out a 3 minute video into 11 minutes.

Are there any options when trapped inside one? No, Except there was one stated, which is to lay flat to evenly distribute the force of impact.
