Passenger elevator

Tip 1: Use the correct protective posture

Suddenly remembered the scene of Bell Grylls' escape in a malfunctioning elevator in "Survival from the Wild". He taught a few tricks on the spot, which may be more effective.

First of all, be sure not to panic. First try to call the rescuer, then press the emergency button, and try all means to ask for help from the people outside the elevator.

When the elevator is falling, it should maintain the correct posture to reduce the damage caused. He suggested that the back should be close to the inner wall of the elevator, and if there are handrails, grab the handrails to strengthen protection. But if there is no armrest, you can lie on the ground and protect your head with your arms.

Note: Some people say that the moment the elevator hits the ground, the jump can reduce some damage. This method is absolutely wrong. Because the car has better self-protection performance, it is safer to stay in the car when the elevator fails.

Tip 2: Don't panic when encountering a malfunction

In response to the problem of elevator self-rescue, a staff member of the Liuzhou City Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau said that most elevator accidents occur when entering and leaving the elevator, "be sure to see if the elevator has stopped." Once the elevator falls, any posture cannot avoid injury. It's just that the above-mentioned posture with the back close to the inner wall of the elevator may only cause less damage.

He revealed that there are very few cases of elevator falling in life. Most of them are only temporary failures, "just like a computer crash and need to be restarted." The elevator needs to descend to the bottom of the building and return to normal, and then rise again. Don't panic at this time, so as not to cause unnecessary harm to yourself.

Note: The staff member also pointed out that most elevator accidents are mainly caused by people's carelessness. Generally, the security company in the urban area must rush to the scene of the accident within half an hour after receiving the call for help, and must rescue the person within 2 hours, otherwise the security company must be held accountable. So it’s very important to stay calm and wait for professionals to come to help.

Technique 3: Press all the floor buttons

According to a project developer, the places where elevators are prone to failure usually occur in new communities. As the new house is decorated and loaded with goods, the elevator is frequently used and even overloaded. So in a short time, the loss of the elevator is more serious.

Therefore, the above-mentioned personnel believe that it is necessary to do a good job in the installation and maintenance of the elevator, "maybe the elevator must be replaced after 10-15 years of use." She also said that very few people now know how to save themselves when an elevator breaks down. “You should press all floors and don’t rush in and out of the car” to ensure that the elevator stops and the car door is opened to escape safely. Out.
