5 Most DISTURBING Elevator Accidents That Turned Fatal...

[@masudashizue777]

This is why I walk up and down the stairs even though I work on the 5th floor of a building. Years ago, I had to exit an elevator which had stopped halfway. I was okay but that experience left an impression.

[@brenda5511]

Very understandable - the thought of that makes me so anxious

[@erynlasgalen1949]

I'm sure taking the stairs has improved your general health. I like to take the stairs too.

[@benlaw4647]

I do the same ! 7 floors. Good exercise!

[@lazyhomebody1356]

I always took the stairs at my college dorm...and now I have bad knees and ankles! Going UP is good for you, DOWN has alot of stress and impact!

[@skingerskanger]

I live in a high rise apartment, and once I had elevator doors open only halfway on my floor...thank God I was able to manually open them the rest of the way...but now I always prepare for the worst every time I take the elevator.

[@CindySimoneaux]

I worked on the 36th floor when I got into the elevator to go up it sped up hit the top floor almost knocked me down then dropped down and stopped between floors. When they got me out they did not believe that the elevator went up and hit the top and dropped. I was scared for my life every time I had to get on an elevator again which was every day I worked.

[@echo.echo08]

I thought such accidents are rare and it only seemed common because of social media until i experienced a malfunction myself. I lived in a condo on the 8th floor and when i got on to go down it stalled and shook up and down a few times and the doors wouldn't open. thankfully it only lasted for a minute and nothing bad happened. it proceeded to go down to my desired floor, and i reported it immediately. it was soon boarded up for inspection and seemingly repaired.

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

An elevator getting stuck is the most common issue and is fine as long as you have an emergency button. Deaths and injuries are extremely rare from elevators though, and happen generally when elevators aren't regularly services/built wrong. A regularly serviced elevator is pretty safe.

[@serenitynow85]

The head must have been left with a face of horror/surprise and pain 😫

[@elainebines6803]

The poor woman being trapped with his head. Beyond horrific!

[@maxine3587]

I read elsewhere that his head was cut off at his bottom jaw, leaving his top jaw and face. It's one of the most awful scenes I can think of for the other passenger.

[@A.Girl.Has.No.Name.]

What the Koyamadai High School Baseball team did in Homasuke's memory must have touched his family'a hearts deeply. Having your loved one celebrated with love and appreciation can help a lot with the trauma that comes with such a loss.

[@shantereed]

Wow, I never thought this was possible with doors closing. I only thought you could get stuck.

[@Finians_Mancave]

If an elevator is being serviced, why in the world wouldn't it be locked down/turned off?! An "OUT OF SERVICE" sign can fall off or be mistakenly removed. Anyone who works on an electrical appliance UNPLUGS IT from power first. That's just common sense. It's mind-boggling that the same kind of thinking wouldn't be followed by someone working on an elevator!

[@deborahchesser7375]

It definitely should have been locked out/tagged out

[@phylliswurm9473]

I was thinking of looking up these types of videos today. But didn't. And I got my notification today. Very odd. I also try to avoid taking elevators. It's stressful. Good video.

[@SunshineCatwoman]

I don't understand: if exercise is supposed to be good for you, then why would climbing stairs adversely affect someone's health?

[@lucyterrier7905]

It doesn't. Only those that have knee or hip problems or something like COPD. Otherwise it's better to take stairs for exercise.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

Or an irregular heartbeat possibly

[@satisfied656]

Well, some humans suffer from severe back-pain, short-breath or are so morbidly-obese they would crack their knees if they would walk the stairs! I wonder what all those people do when their health insurance is cut down/taken away through the next administration! Sadly most people had voted for this outcome back in 2024 so i guess those gullible ones had to eat poop to learn their lessons!😏 P.s: Thank god we moved to Europe (Switzerland) back in 2018 so the whole crap doesn´t effect us anymore🤗

[@sallyannwheeler6327]

Can’t even begin to imagine the permanent trauma etched in these poor people’s brains and minds eye, for ever more,witnessing such horrors.

[@RoyPeck-p8x]

Them dog gone elevators, they sure have there up's & down's don't they.

[@dalhousieDream]

😮😅😊

[@dalhousieDream]

Guess I’ll be climbing stairs from now on 👟👟

[@searchanddiscover]

its the neglect, incompetence, and greed that scares me the most. its not always obvious especially in environments where you expect a good safety culture. things are only as safe as the company's willingness to adhere to safety protocols and regulations.

[@2nicnag2]

My husband and son know there are a couple issues completely off limits to joke with me about and one is escalators. When I told my husband my dad was in the same unit as a young girl who was having a skin graft due to skin pulled off her from an escalator (37 years ago) and her screams in pain, he never messed around with me, not even in elevators despite being different. My late mom even remembered the screams because she only took us that one time to the burn unit. My dad burned himself at work and despite awful pain, he was so thankful it was limited just to his arm, he even went into shock as my mom drove him 2 hours to the hospital with burn unit/skin graft hospital.

[@satisfied656]

Well, better quit smoking folks because this addiction can literally cost your lifes, it´s tragic but true as we have seen!😳

[@timdamron3669]

My daughter has always been afraid of escalators. Idk why, but she wouldn't ride them when she was young through today.

[@Tamera-g3z]

There was a video of a cat who lost its tail on an escalator

[@mozariahrain8363]

Im also very, very terrified of them. I have no idea why either. I just remembered one day my dad took me to a mall with one, he wanted to takw me to the next floor. Im too young to remember my reaction but i straight up wouldn't budge. Pretty sure he had to carry me which i would habe cried. Even to this day, i will actually go out of my way to avoid them. And if i HAVE to go on them because i cant find any stairs i will book up it with more speed then i ever have and will frantically beg people to move out of the way and then as soon as im up at thr top i dead stop wait to the side for who im with and apologize PURFUSELY. I still dont know why im scared! Even my dad has no answer to this. All he knows is if we go somewhere with them he knows to first look for an elevator or stairs then he'll do his escaltor. When i went to the Philippines i never ever had such a hard time as being thete fos they were so crowded. Bur even tho a lot of them couldnt understand me they understood enough to let me pass One time i couldnt get past a group so i started crying and my step mom cradled me all the way down and when i was off I just went to a Bench and fainted.

[@SatyamGupta1328]

First.....In India....there was elevator with broken window....one person was waiting for elevator to come down....but was not coming....as he peek into that broken window to see where the elevater is........ Then the sound came....thhhhaaaak.....his head got severed due to elevator moving downwards..

You can find the video of the first incident if you search hard enough. He got stuck and all of a sudden, his head fell off.

[@adamweb]

Texas: Let's deregulate everything! Also Texas: Video #1

[@kandiistarr4325]

I'm terrified of elevators

[@Darkkan13]

Never ever trust an elevator. I worked in a large library(several floors). They had clamped onto things(metal carts mainly) when they should sense blockage and open back up. Had to shove the cart through. Several times people got stuck for hours. One time the elevator just dropped several floors before stopping. And this was the day after it had supposedly been "fixed". The Nikaidoh incident and the one with the maid(Gloria Rodriguez?) has caused me to be extremely cautious around elevators.

[@dalhousieDream]

You scared me now..

[@deborahchesser7375]

I rode on top of the elevator car in our tallest building where I live, as a maintenance man I had to but never again.

There's corruption in this elevator company, & it goes *all the way to the top! ... You're exposing corruption in *my elevator company?! You're going down! ... [both from comedian Ed Gamble on "Mock the Week"]

[@JustinLodes-h9o]

Theres no reason they cant design an elevator that is death proof. From putting sensors on doors to immediately cut power to the morors when a living creature is in the doorway. They could also make it so that large pins engage and lock the elevator only on floor they stop on and only disengage when the doors are fully closed with no obstructions

[@jimmyday9536]

While these accidents are very disturbing, compared with the millions and millions of people who use an elevator *every day*, the odds of being killed by one is about the same as being struck by lightning while riding a bicycle and eating vanilla ice cream.

[@FlyingSquell]

Around 17,000 are injured in elevator accidents each year, while less than 100 are struck by lightning.

[@thestars386]

1:40 Well, everything is bigger in Texas.

[@leevahal900]

I rode the elevator on the queen Mary only to find out later it was inactive and shut down for saftey.

[@lucyterrier7905]

That doesn't mean anything. It could be domething as minor as cleaning up after someone vomited.

Americans are well superstitious - i noticed no number 13 floor! 2:21 They still had bad luck though, unfortunately 😢

[@lazyhomebody1356]

One of my happiest memiries is my parents having to admit not all adults are smart/ know better than children! I asked why there wasn't a 13th floor and they had to explain about the superstition

[@AnneJyderup-w5x]

In the Danish Parliament we have open escalators, so no doors that open and close. You just hop in as they go slowly up and down. There are not that many floors though.

[@AnneJyderup-w5x]

I meant elevators

[@pilotgrrl1]

Sounds like you're describing a paternoster. The Honest Guide channel shows one of those located in their hometown of Prague.

[@AnneJyderup-w5x]

Yes that's the word, paternoster. They look quite funny to me. But that's what we have in Parlament

[@tonypastor705]

I think there is a video on KZbin of a young man, I think he’s oriental, about to step in an elevator when it just trapped him mid- body! That poor kid- he died but I think they blurred that part, thankfully. Been scared of elevators since seeing that video and other similar ones.😮

[@Ploots21]

Oriental? Are you 90? Good grief…

How much do you guys need to purchase better quality film ?? The effect STINkS.

[@A.Girl.Has.No.Name.]

As you said, it's an effect used to make the video seem like you're watching a filmstrip. (If you're too young to have had these in school, think what the movie theaters use, which is one long strip of film wound around a circular cartridge, and shown on a film projector) Before advances in photography and film tech, ALL movies had the little floaters and that grainy focus, and some were even a bit sepia toned. When I was in school (80s kid) we watched the occasional VHS tape (usually a movie brought by me, bc my dad took tapes and dubbed them, so he had quite the movie collection) otherwise, especially when it was considered an "educational" film, we "got" to watch it on a film projector. Trying to hear the audio over the constant rattle of those things was almost impossible... but it was a damn good noise-maker to lull you to sleep in the middle of the afternoon! 😂

[@carco1263]

@A.Girl.Has.No.Name. thank you for all of that. I am an elder at 66, and fully get that. It does not improve anything. It is as outdated as it is old, like me. Totally unnecessary and annoying. The effect, not me, lol.
