I have been stuck in elevators multiple times, and each time I thought it was going to be the end for me 😂 luckily now I’m here and not trapped in there

STEP 4: Never enter an elevator with a full bladder

Alternative: Take the stairs, you know you need the exercise

It happened to me once and I was in there for an hour and a half. It was a blessing though because it was at an event that I didn't want to be at and I had the perfect legitimate excuse to miss most of it.

My biggest fear being stuck in an elevator is calling for help and then being put on hold, endlessly listening to elevator music.

Yah, this is pretty accurate. Getting stuck in a elevator is very much not fun and it gets really hot in there

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.

Plot twist: The emergency button doesn't work

I love how whenever something bad happens the first rule is "don't panic" like that's ever going to work

This is why my anxiety spikes through the roof when I have to use an elevator

Then there's those establishments that WON'T send maintenance crew or even call firefighters despite one of the trapped occupants suffering a medical emergency.

I wouldn’t be able to handle that. I think i have a MILD form of Claustrophobia.

This is very much common sense!! It's sad that ppl feel like they need to know this lol

Thank you and God bless

This dudes channel is heavy underrated

"Don't climb up the elevator shaft" CoD WZ clip below this short: *Rappelling up elevator shaft*

That is why I use stairs no matter how high the building is!

The UK where I live don't have emergency buttons 😳

My friend just got stuck, and i gave him advice from this video ( i think it will help)

I think I probably wouldn't be that scared but only scared of coming out, what if the elevator falls and I'm in the middle of getting out...

Used to know a guy who swore he had a quickie with a woman he was trapped with. Both of them got to know each other a little, decided it would be a fun story, and went at it

I’ve been stuck in an elevator for 6 hours once. It was pain

This has been my fear even before I knew people got trapped in them idk why I just always been scared of this

Some maintenance manager somewhere: JERRY, I TOLD YOU MONTHS AGO TO FIX THAT ELEVATOR, DO IT NOW OR YOUR FIRED

I can't believe I thought I was going to get proper advice.

What if your trapped in a old elevator in a normal building without an emergency button and a phone?

I'm extremely claustrophobic so I would have a heart attack. I had to be put asleep just to get a MRI and I leave all the doors in my house open so I don't feel boxed in. I always take the stairs if accessible.

This has brought me no conciliation...

That girl presses the computer buttons so fast than my dad slaps me with a belt

That's why yall should always bring some snacks 🤣

I was trapped in a elevated once and not one time did I look for a way out. And this was in 1979, it was actually older then that tho. And on Friday night. Janitor is why I was there. Got lucky tho they had just started the security officers inside and out of building. Got out early Saturday morning. lol. Stay calm stay alive.

I herd of a fire crew who got trapped in one with a sthil quikcut saw....Let's say the fire crew were really really crazy and decided it was best to try to cut the doors open 🤷‍♂️

I remember getting stuck at a mall with my mum. It was the office elevators I think so it that emergency button wasn't pm coz no one was there to reply. I'm just thank full that weren't stuck there for days or weeks it started working after abt an hour. I was a kid so I had nightmares for months and had insomnia for a year I think.

Ok ima start taking the stairs. Its bad enough that I'm claustrophobic but if I get trapped in there I AM GOING TO PANIC. I will definitely have a panic attack.

Thank you for this short video

i can that being from nyc, getting stuck in an elevator became a rights of rights of passage than a scary event.

Luckily they legally have to have a spring at the bottom of the elevator shaft so you won’t die

Can you try to give us info on what to do and what not to do in FALLING elevator? Please?

Also the last step is to lay flat on your back and cover your face so it does less impact if it starts falling

We had an ware elevator incident at work: the elevator can carry 8 tons:they filled it up with 11 tons every time over years, so a catastrophe was imminent and it got wedged when it was almost at the top. They had to call an army helicopter to get it free and it cost a lot

Yeah but in the end it’s so worth it finally getting fresh air after they jam the doors open

Me with my phone on 100%: KZfaq is the only thing I’m gonna do because I take hours looking for something good on Netflix.

What to do , just open the speaker in lift and talk to guard , tell him to open the Lift 😂😂😂😂

And if the chain breaks, and you are falling from floor 10 to -1?

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.

As a resident of Sacramento, NCR I approve of this message

Thanks for the info👍👍

Imagine if your stuck on the elevator and you with your friends just laughing

Well now I know what to do if I’m trapped in an elevator.

Are These Shorts of This channel informing me the ways I myt die

I got stuck in elevator back in 2021 after that I'm extremely scared of elevators even today

It's very stuffy in there and theres always someone who starts to panic. They should store some edibles that the help desk can guide you to... seriously

In Poland they steal the emergency buttons lol

I was stuck today and god blessed me having to wait 10 mins

I was stuck In an elevator as a baby and I don’t remember it but my body just goes into full fear if I’m in one, I dig my nails into my palms and stay In a corner until the doors open and I run out. Thing is my mum hates stairs cuz they make her feel dizzy and I don’t wanna go away from her. The only time I go down the stairs is when my grandad comes with us.

“step one stay calm” yeah im dead

That scene of the woman spamming her keyboard made me laugh a bit for some reason lol

I actually once for stucked in an elevator The electricity suddenly got cut or something, the elevator fell like 6 floors or so, luckily the electricity came back.

Probably the best for me. My school elevator is mad

People after taco were trying to go in there room to use toilet: guess i die

“So uhh… you guys wanna play crazy 8 while we wait?”

wonder if someone is watching this now while trapped in an elevator😳🤣✌🇺🇸🇨🇱

My notification sound came right when it pressed the emergency button. Had to watch again to make sure it was me and not the video. xd

I Would Just wait until Someone realizes The Elevator Isn't working

I literally was just stuck in an elevator 3 stories hight and 5 firefighters had to pry the door open and It wanted to move on it’s own. I had to leave the things I had in there and I thank God I was not injured.

I got stuck and the emergency help button didn’t work lol my phone was ALMOST dead but I had just enough charge to call 911 luckily.

This happened to me but the manager had a key and opened the shaft

What a coincidence i was just stuck in a elevator the day before yesterday on my way to school at 7 am anyways my mum just knocked on the elevator qite a bit with her keys someone at that floor was going to work thankfully and heard us and then after 10 minutes we were out safely

when emergency buttons never work: 😑🤦‍♀️

I was stuck in an elevator before. It was me my brother and my dad about to go to the pool and for some reason we all decided to jump and the same time, which caused it to stop and get stuck, so we called my mom, the hotel, and eventually the fire department, eventually after a few hours of them trying to fix it they just decided to claw it open and get us out (we were near a door)

step 3 :wait Phone: i got ya covered

"so you might as well get comfortable" i now bring a small chair and some pillows whenever i go into an elevator in the case that it stops working

Elevators should have a built in couch or blanket or chair built into a side pannel so if you do get stuck you can have a comfortable place to sit

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

Not me I doe be screaming for the whole day cuz I'm scared if I'm alone and stuck in a elevator id scream more if the lights turned off

Don’t worry if you’re stuck in it with me, I bring snacks drinks and random stuff in my backpack SOMETIMES.. but it’s all good. Can you bring your charge with you??

Nah nah, step one, just take the stairs, unless you don't want to.

Step 1: have everybody jump at the same time. If there is nobody else in the elevator with you, just jump a bunch of times

Well now i know what to do in case of emergency thank you

And if starts to fall down, lay down

Claustrophobia: am i a joke to you???

Reminds me of that Japanese kid that peed on the control buttons and shut the elevator off.

You know what, I think I'll get some exercise and take the stairs.

This would be a bad day to anyone who took the elevator to a restroom, or if the electricy is out.

Yeah, basically what they said is don't be the hero.

If I was stuck in a elevator (ground level) I would be cool as a cucumber, now if I’m stuck in a elevator (8 story’s) above ground I would panic a little bit.

I am currently stocked in a lift and on step 3

It’s easy Call for help, try to use an intercom or any phone/your cellphone Then lie down on the floor and cry

When you live in a old build with elevator which dont even have a help button

In like the year 2000 I got trapped in an elevator for 20 minutes but I was alone and literally like 5 years old. It was traumatizing. Later I find out people have won millions in lawsuits for the same thing happening

Also lie down on your back, if the elevator does fall, u have a higher survival rate

Me: *starts jumping so i dont have to wait*

Been trapped in an elevator. Long story short it took 5 hours to get me out, I called for help and wound up just kinda falling asleep while waiting for help. Funny bit is I actually punched a fireman who opened the roof and saw me lying there motionless. Be careful when shaking awake a deep sleeper lol.

Nope... I'm opening the hatch and climbing up like I see every action start do.

I ride in elevators all the time due to my delivery job. Haven't gotten stuck yet thank goodness but thanks for the tips

Step 2. Nobody ever answers in the elevators in my city.

*deep breath* "HELP ME IM STUCK IM GONNA DIE I DONT WANNA GO.

Bruh if the elevator stops I'm emptying my lungs and then some.

The clastrophobia attack will be so bad

I was trapped in an elevator with my brother (take note he LOVES the titanic movie) we were in the public library when we were stuck in the elevator, it opened but only for a little bit and my brother was like "GO, AND TAKE TITANIC WITH YOU!" (He had it with him) he got out but its just funny now
