4:50 CRASH! Son of a *BEEEP*

I'm totally loving the use of Dover Buzz as a bleep.

man....my worst fear is getting stuck in a elevator,but in this one?

I think this might have been your fault, actually - many elevators have a "motor limit timer" that trips and shuts down the elevator if it has been moving continuously for more than a certain time, usually about twice as long as it takes to go from one terminal landing to the other. Since you were using that "Dover trick" to make it run continuously without ever actually stopping and opening the doors, the motor limit timer never reset and eventually tripped.

OMG one of my fears is getting stuck in an elevator. I had to always use a freight elevator at work (when I worked as a food court cleaner I had to take the garbage cart upstairs to the garbage compactor), not sure what brand but it didn't have a gate in it, and it was old as hell.

Son of a: the elevator beeps😂

At least the cables didn't snap!

4:50 Now that elevator is going to hell, A place where you should not go

'Gets stuck' Before we go anywhere let me get a cab view. XD

This is extremely dangerous. It's best to call in help than to try escape on your own.

Having worked on this exact model, I will say that the brake was set. I can't see why it would stall like this however I would say that there is definitely some maintenance issues here. Also I'm sure you know this but you should have sounded the alarm and waited for assistance, escaping like this can be dangerous, especially if the elevator is above the landing.

4:54 lmao just lmao, cant understand how you covered the bad word with a dover buzz lmao

Actually, I belive the "Dover trick" made the elevator stuck. I did change direction immediately on an old Siemens elevator in Copenhagen and that made me stuck.

As a elevator installer i can certainly tell that this is overspeed stop. When the elevator drops or cables snap there is A SEPARATE CABLE whom go to the separate wheel whom will trip when overspeed is measured and that same cable activates the brakes whom stop the elevator by cutting into the rails

slow mo sounding like a dope dubstep

Really cool elevator (and nice escape when it got stuck)

Hey kids! Time for a game of Simon says! "We maintain our elevators." Uh oh! Simon didn't say. Thanks for playing! :-)

Who is looking this in 2019? 😂

Cool :) Can't wait to see them!!! And that call station is very nice.

0:47 Why did I die laughing...?

4:51 that scared me 😂😂

You should have left it open so staff would have been able to see that it was broken.

Awesome video, bad maintenance. Glad you guys made it out alright. Also, that was a very bad location on the "Authorized Personnel/No Trespassing" sign. An Epic Fail, even. It should have been on the door, in the mall area/shopping corridor.

4:36 the elevator kinda wanted to stop

I HATE elevators!!! I have a strange fear of them.

I LOL'd when you censored out ***** with a kruppy buzz!!

Graceful job simon. Nice neglecting your elevators

I like the sound effect you used on the curse word

Son Of A B*Dover Buzz*

Awesome video.

The redshirt who said "Nope, it's done." is the clearcut commander of this crew.

I have a caption for you guys for this one. Escaping Schindler's lift. Oh by the way speaking of escaping an elevator this is a real life story that happened at our church years ago at the recital for the Christmas Pageant. This was the worst night I have ever had there in terms of technical difficulties. And yes I am a techie and yes I know elevators. Even those I was not church staff I was trand 2 restart and operate the elevator which was due at the time and would frequently malfunction and sometimes even get stuck and yes I was stuck in it once or twice as far as I can remember. But that night everything went wrong that could have including the over there but first we we're doing the pageant we lost power to most Sanctuary window lights balcony and the Oregon oops We were only pulling around about as much extra power as some electric heaters due to lights that we had borrowed from school from stage crew where I was also their technician the dude prepares and just everything else electronic and electrical. I also did a v work for our church sometimes as a backup person. MI father was the Church musician at that time and choir director. And it was me that finally got power restored. Checked all Breakers Terraria nothing tripped turns out we blew a feeder for that area. But that was just a start everything else that could have gone wrong did but the highlight of it all. More presisley the low light. Which actually was the middle. Another words two of our people coming down from what were using for a dressing area wild up stuck between floors. And then me and. MI father we went down to the elevator equipment room off the Boiler Room WeeWorld up trying to reset the elevator bicycling power 5 or more times and even before that I said Dad I think I might have a good idea to get the elevator drop key because we know there between force by that says yes do it Turns out that was a good idea because still there did not reset and would not regain operation. So I wound up using a drop key the manually open the doors and had them get down flat and we had people all that for help them down once. Thay squeeze through Worst Christmas pageant rehearsal ever and all time probably.

Sounded like the brakes locked up when the elevator suddenly stopped quickly.

Peelle Doors. Used by many different elevator companies worldwide. Peelle has its own door controllers in the elevator motor room along with the elevators company equipment. Worked on quite a few.

Greatest KZfaq channel of all time goes to diesel-ducy

Nice video! I'm glad you guys made it out safe.

Well, I would have been scared, with that sign Dan showed in the beginning. I just see this as a very lucky situation. I didn't even know that those doors had manual releases. I wonder if it's even fixed yet...

Awesome video, DD! You had to know that would happen one of these days :-)

I love that Dover buzz sensor beep!!!

The future of cus words, "YOU SON OF A *BUZZZ*"

There is another mall owned by the Simon Property Group. They do not want us elevator enthusiasts to take photographs of the elevators that they have in their properties so that they will not be fined for not maintaining them.

I don't think the retiring cam popping out was the reason for it stopping (like it trying to open when off line) - the Dover freight elevator they had where I used to work would immediately drop the retiring cam as soon as the elevator stopped, including if the gate was opened between floors. The worst was when I accidentally brushed the door open with it between floors.... it immediately halted, flung the gate open, and jammed like that. I was able to manually close the door again with the door close button after a loooong delay and make the elevator run back to the second floor, but it never levelled - it just flung the gate open and dropped the retiring cam (it made contact) so I was treated to a 8 inch step up to the second level and it shut down. Required three controller reboots to restore service. I think I have a video on here of rebooting its braindead butt.

That was EPIC!!!-SON OF A (ELEVATOR BEEP CENSOR!)

This is Dangerous Andrew! Ring the alarm! DO NOT EXIT A STALLED CAR!!!!

They are a good brand but are a pain to work on. They have their own controllers and the doors are controller by motors and chains. They are quite a beast to work on when you don't have that many dealings with them. I know of at least 3 sites now in London UK that have either replaced the doors with manual shutters or ripped out completely. I also know an engineer got killed many years ago at a car factory fitted with these doors. He was on car top and lent over doors. Car door raised the end :(

4:50 that was a loud bang i cannot stop laughing! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That’s a safety break, usually happens when elevator is too fast and I thinks it’s a fail safe

4:16 THIS IS SO COOL TRICK I WISH I CAN DO THAT

man there is a KZfaq channel for everything

5:33 "Now that we're stuck, let me get a cab view!" "Oh my god, I'm going to strangle you.

6:06, Doors slam close and the elevator jolts down, decapitating you. I've seen too many elevator fails to not see that happening

does the Dover trick only work with Dover elevators?

Good point.

i live near this mall this is epic. i've been here many times

Wow... Sadly this has happened to me on a Dover too, not on camera, but the Otis tech that repaired it said it had a faulty relay that triggered the e-brake. It sort of happened like this, but at 350 fpm instead of 100...

When did the edit over Dan’s face at the start of the video end up there

lol I love the dover buzz as a bleeper

I always loved Dover elevators. Sometimes, they unfortunately fail. Lol

After seeing this (and the infamous Market garage incident of several years back), I can only imagine how often Andrew has been stuck for extended periods of time in elevators across the nation. Has to be more than a handful, given how often he rides them!

Did u just use an elevator noise to bleep out ur curse word???

Son of a BLEEP! I laughed at that ! 😂

4:50 that scared me 5:02 not at all

4:51 OOF

I hate getting stuck in elevators

McDonald's Lock, I think you're in the wrong video. ok, bye bye. Best part of the video.

That scared me hopefully you’re OK and I never wrote those elevators before so yeah

There is an elevator at my school that is a Kone.

Wow

Don't feel bad, DD. The next person to use it would get stuck and wouldn't know how to escape. So you did someone a favor :-)

lol i love watching people get stuck!

Over 3 years later, is Fileccia yet aware?

does anyone know before it was not censored 0:10

Nice to see CVE

2 Brand new elevators are opening at our parking garage/library. 2 new Otis. Supposed to open up in October before the snow starts again. They had to replace them for the same reason. Tourists on the cruise ships got stuck in them everyday and almost missed there all call

DieselDucy ☺️

this dover is smart. she can censor your b-word.

Thanks

The slow mo parts reminds me of the wonkavator crash into the tardis.

Westchester Mall by Bloomingdale Rd in white plains, NY? Where Godiva and the fancy stores are? I don't think it's the Galleria. That's also a Simon Mall, but it's not as well kept. (Sorry, it is the Westchester Mall...I just saw Sbux and Godiva right next to each other lol).

Clever how you censored a certain word with the Dover buzz. But yeah that Dover is done!

Him: "Favorite brand of elevator" 2 minutes later Him: *Stuck in the elevator*

Son of a Dover Buzz. Perfect censor beep for when someone swears in a Dover elevator

THAT SCEARD THE FLIPING F HECK OUT OF ME WHEN IT BANGED

That motor!!! OHHH MMMYYYYY!!! The management team watch a live stream of this... Oh my!! He is cool... wait a minute.... is he in our freight lift? Breaking it??? LETS GO BOIISS!

This elevator is still in horrible condition. The motor cuts out and the elevator stals for half a second before getting back to full speed

This video demonstrates the proper way to react if you get stuck in an elevator: get a cab view.

5:30 shit made me die 😂 I love how confident he it “no it’s done” *claps the dust off *

that escape should be used in movies!

Thats pretty freaken awsome when my dad got stuck in a elevator when he worked at the alico he had to call maintenance to come and pull him out he walked ou of the elevator from the top

I like the Dover buzz

It is also very dirty. Also, epic motor!

5:35 LOL and that was scary when I get stuck in a traction elevator

I bet you're right. Maintenance is key.

At 4:50 Make me laugh so loud And I woke up my mom and she yelled at me to go back to sleep

4:51 Andrew:Guess what? Guy:Son of a (expletive)! Andrew:I think we’re stuck in here. Well duh!

Thath's a verry cool elevator =)

That's just...Wow.

I'm glad you got out
