Basically, what happened was you cracked open the now-defunct rear door (that was still connected to the lift's logic). Then, the safety circuit is opened and the lift shuts down. Some lifts reset once the safety circuit is reconnected, while other lifts require the fire brigade/lift engineer to reset it for you.

3:23 I have only been stuck in a broken elevator once. It was in a hospital sized elevator in Boston, Massachusetts. What happened was the door sensors snapped in half and then the elevator went into nudge mode. My cell phone was dead so I had to use the emergency phone. Thankfully the fire department rescued me and I got out safely. They got there very quickly. It was less than 5 minutes after getting off the phone with them. It was a Haughton Traction elevator.

Yeah , if they had to get you through roof extrication it meant that there was a physical failure with the car itself, and fire service mode wasn’t gonna work to get you out, all electronic abilities to move the car were inoperable. The only way out was through physician extraction.

[@petecartwright1622]

My son was going to have a blood test in NHS hospital cause we went to the car park at 5th floor, he was scared cause he doesn't like to be stuck, if it's stuck, he's gonna get freaked out and said '' no this can't be god damn it, HELP ME!!'' that's when he hates elevator.

[@PFElevators]

It was possible that the door sensor for the rear door was activated when you put the arm near the door causing it to stop.

[@patricknedz]

It shouldn’t be that sensitive though. Usually requires enough to disengage the gate switch.

[@baelevatorsmore728]

They really should’ve disabled the safety on that rear door if it wasn’t in use. It makes no sense to me why they would just leave it. I’ve had issues with a rear door 330A before. Dang controller.

[@Eternalelevators_and_more]

I’m glad you’re okay because the owner of these elevators is known for neglecting and poor maintenance to their elevators. Hopefully it’s not Simon properties.

[@MasonDomingo-sg8pe]

Schindler is my least favorite elevator company. Part of the reason why is because I got stuck in a Schindler 330A HT hydraulic elevator a few years ago. I was stuck in there for 2 hours.

[@tribefenatic]

i remember in a hostel i got stuck in one it just went half way to my floor and then suddenly it just stopped. 5 minutes of nothing then the lift just started flying up and down for 20 minutes, it crashed somewhere with a loud bang and then constantly opening and closing the doors to a black nothing, it got to my floor doors wouldn't open for 10 minutes. Then i finally got out when it just slightly opened it's doors i pushed it open and jumped out of the lift. 😱🥶🥶🥶🥶 scariest moment of my freaking life!

[@Fardzilla]

You probably somehow disconnected the safety circuit on the door which is why them restarting it didn't work

[@SamG2808]

Damn! Your reaction on 3:23 , if that was me in there by myself, I would literally curse myself out bro.

Not sure if they've been red tagged but they need a lot of repairs because I believe these exact elevators have probably got other people stuck as well.

[@jdtayloruk]

Why close off an extra pair of doors - seems silly to do that.

[@HSETM]

Because that other set of doors is not in use anymore.

[@Ih8kone]

I know, right? I mean, the whole purpose of the rear door was to open into the supermarket!

[@plateshutoverlock]

They might have redesigned the supermarket so that door was no longer useable. Somebody else mentioned that the QFC was not multistory, so it's likely the 2nd floor was removed, combining the first and second floors into one tall space for that supermarket. Then the former 2nd floor elevator entrance was sealed up for obvious reasons, and for some reason they decided to seal up the first floor entrance as well. And they decided to bolt a railing across the now defunct rear door in the elevator cars.

[@CarminaPonting-qr5df]

I have ever been stuck in a lift aka I'm British but I have been locked in a multistorey car park for nearly 17 hours and the people who could open it and let us out were 2 mins away typical

[@theleastofpilgrims3379]

I was once at the CircusCircus in Las Vegas…while taking an elevator up, it stopped, seemed to slip down a few inches, which was chilling, and then opened the doors on the next floor and shut down. I told security and they blocked it off. I still have strange dreams about being on an old elevator that gives way a few inches. I would call them spooky dreams, but lacking the existential terror to qualify as nightmares (my nightmares I wouldn’t wish on anyone). I am not afraid of elevators but rather enjoy riding in scenic and interesting elevators such as funiculars, although parking garage elevators like this one are always unpleasant and even when clean have a nasty metallic odor.
