Very close friend is a dispatcher for an elevator company. You hit the button you get an operator, this operator will dispatch a technician to the location that assists the trapped passenger in exiting the elevator. If you would like the operator to call 911 they can but they do not automatically call emergency services unless there is indeed an emergency. Elevators have electronic and mechanical safety measures that prevent it from plummeting if you are on an elevated floor when your car stops. If all of these failed those big springs at the bottom are made to dampen the fall so although you will get seriously injured you could more then likely even survive if everything failed. Your biggest concern when trapped in an elevator is if you have to use the restroom.

TLDR: Chinese Lady was stuck in elevator. Died in it from starvation and die hydration. Wasn’t found for a month. I was stuck in an elevator for 14 hours at work. How do you get out and escape an elevator when no help is coming? There was a lady in China who got stuck in an elevator when maintenance had turned it off to begin doing maintenance on it. They didn’t bother looking to see if anyone was in it when they turned it off. Turning the elevator off was the last thing they did before they left work and wouldn’t be back until over a week later due to it being a Chinese holiday. They don’t open the elevator and look inside and finder until a month later. I got stuck once while I was working (was working during the weekend) I was an office mover and had an entire elevator full of furniture and boxes. A lightning bolt hit and I was stuck between floors. I was able to pry the doors open on my side and they did theirs. There was about 5 or 6 inches of an opening to the floor they were on so they were able to pass me some snacks and an empty bottle for me to use. I had to wait 9 hours for maintenance to show up and they were unable to get the elevator started. It was looking like they would need the fire department to come and cut me out when the elevator finally moved and let me out on the bottom most floor. One of the maintenance crew was able to get the elevator to move to the bottom floor, open its doors, and shut down there until the elevator company could come and fix it. I had been stuck in the elevator for 14 hours.

Oh my God this reminded me of a story I have. So many years ago, my family went on a vacation to Hawaii, and we took an elevator to the second floor of a building. My sister, who was about 6 or so at the time wasn’t paying attention and didn’t exit the elevator before we left it and she goes to the third floor. She’s not even gone for more than 3 minutes because the elevator simply came back down to the second floor, but she was just totally crying and seven years still later she tells people she was stuck in an elevator
