Today, there are more than 1 million elevators just in the US, carrying people higher and lower every day. All these elevators travel about 1 and 1/2 billion miles per year and move around 18 billion passengers. You might think that you know everything about this vertical kind of transport. But, let's say, have you ever wondered why elevator doors have small holes in them?
Imagine getting stuck in an elevator at the most inappropriate moment of your life. An elevator arrives at your floor, but the doors wouldn't open. Something must have gone wrong with the equipment, or there has been a power failure. In this case, getting out won't be an easy feat! That's why all you can do is to wait for an elevator mechanic. Finally, they turn up, but what next?

I’m sorry, but 2:58 is wrong! An elevator will never plummeted down. It’s just not possible. First of all, let’s say if your riding a roped elevator, just one of the ropes are enough to make the lector function. The rest are there for safety just in case one snaps. Let’s say, they all snap, then in all elevator machine rooms, there is something called a governor. If the elevator’s speed is abnormal, the governor will immediately stop the elevator. Therefor, this is not possible (Elevator falling) Also, the special Elevator key is called a Drop Key!

Elevators in the United States are the safest as long as proper maintenance and inspections are done as the manufacture suggest. Always use a elevator for what it’s for, follow the proper capacity , do not tamper with anything that’s in the elevator, unless you are a license vertical express technician, use it as you would any mechanical equipment, it is not a playground to just let your children play in.

Elevator moving from side to side violently...Brakes were engaged (i think) Stopped on 9th floor for several minutes then plunged. Visual picture of me in Bar Method class, "flex your knees" so I flexed my knees. when elevator stopped hard my knees buckled and i was in a squat position. I sustained a brain injury even though my head never hit floor or wall. In my opinion, lying down will cause a more severe brain injury...closed head injury Vs. open head 🤷‍♀️

The key that goes in the hole is know as a drop key or a lunar key. Building superintendents are not allowed to have them as they have no idea how to safely use them. As for the lunar key being used rarely, an elevator mechanic uses them multiple times a day. Holding a button and the close door button doesn’t do anything. You cannot open the doors from the inside because there is a restrictor rod that prevents the doors from opening more than a few inches
