otis gen2: stopped to 0 metres a second in 0 seconds Omega: stop button=GO FUCKEN FASTER

Try to turn the mains off while it is moving. If it stops immeadietly it means that the brake is software controlled.

Unbelievable that this lift is allowed to be in service!

Used to do a lot of surfing (lift rope inspections )working in a triple shaft no barriers between scary as counterweights whip past. Take care Beno.

Beno I have been binge watching all your videos!!! Love your content man keep up the great work

That is one serious design fault. How can it be in service and how can it be type approved? I’ve heard that chinese companies sometimes fake CE markings, they pretent to be adhering to the conformity regulations but they actually don’t. This lift has that “Aliexpress” quality to it in regards to product safety. I.e. no safety at all. It is absolutely horrible that systems are becoming increasingly dependent on software, that whole Silicon Valley mentality “we fix it with the next firmware update” gives me shivers. I’ve read stories on the software engineering practices at Tesla and I fear that the same software engineering mentality creeps in on safety critical systems. Imagine if lift logic was developed like the GoPro firmware, it would crash all the time!🥶

holy shit. that is a serious issue. reminds me of a local company we took over when it went bankrupt: HiQuaLift (ironic, yea) when you turned on the car top inspection, it would still respond to a floor call. i was lucky to have tested the car top stop button before, because that scared the shit out of me. we took all of the lifts with that type controller out of service immediately, until we found a solution for this problem. that can get someone killed. eventually, we let the inspection switch toggle a relay in the controller cabinet, that cut the main lead for the landing call buttons, rendering them unusable.

More engineers need to learn the lessons of the Therac-25

That elevator configuration should be banned!

Very nice coverage of this! A lot of people should definitely be made aware of this

Many thanks for the very clear explanation on the safety circuitry!

Loved the diagragm and explanation of the safety relay. I binge your videos but don't know anything about the relays or electric systems involved in lifts, so this is great!. Have you ever seen the Secret Life of Machines episode on lifts? I highly recommened the series to anyone interested in mechanics / machinery.

Omega totally stole KONE’s logo. It’s not even funny how similar they are. I’m surprised KONE hasn’t done something about this (or maybe they have).

It’s sad that some building owners and these cowboy lift companies like omega dont care about peoples safety, hopefully they get sued

"Damn, this is taking forever" "Hang on i've got just the thing" *INTENSE SAFETY BREAKING INTENSIFIES* "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?" *ding* Floor 3... Doors opening, lift going up "There we go"

Imagine it doing that at the top of the shaft YEAHHHH…

Pre door logic used to be common with the relay controlled lifts. I remember one where the brake was not coming on and the lift was ocilating with an almost 2 foot amplitude. What amazed me was that people were still using it, jumping in and out. I informed the building caretaker who turned it off from the keyswitch in the car. I half expected the caretaker to get the rise of his life however the brake came on with the key.

It sounds like the VF drive is actually running after safety break.

Imagine someone's arm is caught in the tracks and you push the stop button and the lift shoots upwards Holy Cow!

The second Dangerous Lift video.

This is why you don't make the E stop in software.

Question : What if youre inside a elevator/lift and then the safety circuit is broken and youre stuck between to floors? Would there be anyway to get out of here? Let's assume this is an even older lift that didn't got it's emergency phone lines modernized , what would then happen?

The same lift was at Prosper Plaza, a place in Bucharest. When safety bypassing and doing what you did there, it does the same thing. In March 2022, the place burned down, and finally, that piece of shit lift was finally removed! Hope they install a better lift, like a KONE or a Schindler.

Triangle Key

dude you have no idea how much anxiety the first clip gave me...

mom can we have lift at home no we already have lift at home lift:

I love videos of lifts. And that lift that goes fast is what how dangerous they can be. Still epic tho. #LiftLivesMatter

Very informative and interesting. I'm going to have to watch out for these, and that's just speaking as a normal passenger!

This is the DAAAAAAAAANGEROUS LIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aren't public lifts subject to independent examinations by the insurance company?

You can clearly hear that VVF is still active- It's 100% software mistake- Somebody should be in jail

Insane! Wonder if it would still do this if it hit over run too? It would crash through the ceiling 😨!

This lift wouldn't run if the safety circuit don't stop the lift... It's dangerous.

omega lift: I love myself every lift and generic lifts: OMEGA LIFTS PLIS GO OUT OF FECKIN SERVICE

Try cutting safety just as it's approaching top of shaft.

Never trust generics

Bruh not only the elevator safety is broken, but also something about the fact that it even speeds up almost twice its limit before stopping. XD Honestly, i when i realized about the speed, i was hoping to see you guys do the same, but on the way down, for the governor to trip. Also, because of this, i think it would be good idea to invent two way governor, just for this specific purpose of it going over its speed limit going up.

That lift should not be in service! Unbelievable!

how do you estimate the speed of the lift?

And indian was crushed to death the same way when he was repairing the elevator. Same elevator company it's omega. It's because the safety failed

Have you surfed on this lift ben?

what do you think is going on with that elevator with the logic?

Beno can you make a video about pre doors safty?

that wouldn't fly here in north america that's for sure

Good video 👍 😁

That is completely unsafe! That is also ridiculous.

Omg just watching the clip where it shot off I literally almost crapped my pants

thats so dangerous like what is someone is in that elevator(im us) and suddenly safety breaks

WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?! This is the most dangerous modern lift i have ever seen.

Ohhh beno

OSHA needs to see this, how did this get qc pass IF it even did

Was there anyone inside the elevator when the elevator almost hit u?

Cool!

You've ever seen those videos of Chinese Elevators almost killing ppl bc of safety issues while the door is open?

Omg Im surprized that omega hasent gotten sued to hell yet because if I was an engineer working on these and I got my hand chopped off Id break absolute hell with them with the casted stump where my hand used to be

one of this systems are in my lift

Do a lift adventure in Cardiff

This elevator's safety system is badly designed - if the software crashes while the elevator goes in either direction, the cabin will just keep going. There are many videos of elevator CCTV footage showing such software failure in action. This could potentially the elevator to overshoot the top, or bottom floor, possibly injuring passengers. There's at least one such incident, which happened in 2014. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdimpsmBlrbciZ8.html - take a note on the floor indicator being stuck at -2 level for a bit until the software realizes the elevator has lost its position, indicated by the dashes on the display.

KONE needs to replace it

Wow.

oh boi

in the US where I live thankfully this sort of thing doesn’t exist

Can you make more videos about dangerous elevators?

bypass

So if you some how got here to the US then you wouldn’t even have to worry about crappy stuff like this

This shall be banned!

Oh no thank you Id rather keep my arms than to have them chopped off by hundreds of thousands of pounds of metal

0:01

Sorry for this comment, but this lift would be a great candidate for a good old freefall like you see in all those clickbait videos. :)

Oscar Oida, nakatutok, 24 Oras!

how just how tho

I think cheap lifts from China should be banned, because cheap Chinese lifts are most likely absolute shit. Imagine a safety circuit that when it is broken, it makes the lift shoot up before I guess the e-brakes are applied and the lift is stopped.

EWAN KO NA LANG KUNG MABAGAL NA ANG DANGEROUS GENERIC ELEVATOR!

WALANG GANUN, MARS!!!

Sana nandito na naman si Rodrigo Duterte!

Hey Austin this is guys

Oy, hindi kailangan mag-surf ng mga generic lifts dito sa isang tower sa United Kingdom? Talagang hindi pa rin bayaran ng tuition fee, ha? May mga Tiktokers pa kamo!

You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
