Have you ever got caught in a lift (elevator)?

yES FRIEND DALIAJ I was stuck up in lift with my son when we were going up. I keep my head cool and call the nearest person by shouting. One of them listen my voice and take me out of the lift.It was a great experience.

Oh if it's a pregnant lady, then the scenario is worst then as she may suffer from suffocation and pregnant means the rate of suffocation would be quite high. I have been caught in the lift for more than 7 to 8 times but fortunately i would be the only person to get caught and hence the suffocation factor is ruled out. On three occassions, I have been caught in lift along with my two friends. But I never get panic. I would press the emergency button and wait for the security to come and open the lift. If it is a 10*12 size lift and if 4 of you are caught inside, you can survive for more than 19 hours and I read this information in an article and I am sure that within 2 hours itself we could definitely come out with the help of security guards presence.

hi daliaj yes years back when I went back to the U to get my degree I was caught all alone in the elevator and it stopped just about ten inched from where it was supposed to and the door opened. So several young men students helped me to climb out of the elevator by putting a small sturdy stool in the elevator which brought the height equal to the floor outside and I just stepped up on the stool then walked onto the floor of the library at the University Of Cal at Irvine. I was at the time already 54 and slightly physically handicapped too.

What pity your friend is! I take lift every day,but I haven't got caught in a lift.

Well I remember I was taking the lift to go upstairs to where I had to sit for an examination and the lift just stopped, we were among seven people inside and we were all afraid as it seemed that the lift was about to break up and gets down, but actually nothing like that happened and we had to wait to some one minutes till some three men came and helped us outside so we were really lucky these people were there because we were later told that these people came only because there was an examination and they were taking precautions so if ever we were in the lift some other day we might have to wait for more than two minutes.

Yes once when we were in a lift at our company and suddenly it stopped for two minuits. Everybody was scarred, there was panic inside . We were 5 of them inside . There was a power faliure. After 2 minuits of fear the lift started operating .

Hi daliaj, It is sad to know that your pregnant friend caught in lift. Luckily she was not alone so she would not have any scare. No, I never caught in lift and you know if I am alone I will try my best to avoid a lift. I really scared on lifts especially I am alone. I don’t have much weight so it is not a problem for me to climb steps.

So far NO! but i would like to at least once ;) Just for fun. I think it will be scary if there is no space to breath and with todays technology i think we don't have to worry. There are so many ways to fix this problem immediately. It is surly dangerous if the lift is packed up, otherwise its okay. One thing to be followed is that we should see to that, when entering a lift we should maintain or advice others not exceed the defined kg. or the no. of person entering the lift, then thing will be fine... :)

yes, i had that experience too. it happened when we were going down and then the power was off. we were full inside and someone forced open the door and i saw that we were a little above one floor. some people from that floor had to get a table for us to step down. it was a terrible experience. good we were able to get out as the distance to the lower floor was just manageable.
