  • man thats gotaa hurt the elevator hit itself in the big wall :( at 1:45

  • I was collecting escrow in a new building in Bellevue WA when a man was cut in half by a stuck between floors elevator. At first I didn't realize why so many people gathered around the elevator hall... Yuk.!!!

  • dude that is real.... the elevator could've sliced them in half or they would've been paralyzed or killed

  • Wait what?

  • Fickin scary

  • @igotswaggathatsright i "fickin" know right ! ? xD

  • Theres a hotel in Porto Heli, Spain called Nautica Bay that has only an external door on each floor, so as you ascend or descend you can litteraly touch the internal shaft walls as you go, freaky the first time you get in.

  • Ahhhh. It slammed into the overhead. I guess I should of watched the entire video

  • Why is it running when the interlocks aren't made up?

  • 1:27 Door is slightly open and the elevator start to shake a bit then..BOOM!

  • The car must have become light and the counterweight caused the car to free fall up, causing plates to fall from the top of the inside of the car.

  • fukky fakee... Its 12/2009 and they are wearing summer clothes O_O CHEERS

  • @Daanqer fake? FAKE getting laid is fuckig fake

  • @firestar3452 yeah

  • @Daanqer You think its cold year round everywhere? Many places never get cold. Get out from in back of your computer and travel.

  • @Daanqer where i live december is summer and we can hit 28°C in winter..

  • they survived right?

  • I don't get what happened

  • @glennbez The brake just stop working so the counterweight (heavier than the car) makes the lift slips to the top. There are emergency brake in case of falling down on every lift but emergency brakes for "falling up" are realy rare.

  • What happened??

  • See, this lady tried to get on an elevator but the elevator kept going, without the doors closing and she got decpitated and died..... im taking the stairs!!!!

  • This exactly happened to me 2 days ago. I live in an apartment on the 2nd floor and me and my family came late from the mall. So 4 people was in the elevator, me, my dad, my mom, and my sister. I was the last one to get out and when i got out of the elevator, i almost tripped. I looked back and saw the elevator going up but the door never closed. And it made a loud bang. My mother told me this lady died because of that 2 weeks ago. That scared the sh*t out of me.

  • Why does the guy decrease in size as he exits?

  • that is so scary and i hate elevators

  • Did the door open suddenly then the dad and girl says, let's get off. Then they turned around and ask each other, was the elevator still moving? Weird. After, they properly heard the crash. Only to realize they got off on time.

  • THIS IS WHY I DONT GET ON ELEVATORS. ITS A DEATH TRAP.

  • and they were pressing no floor button!

  • and how many elevators can you see were moving down maybe 10???

    i don´t understand the sense of that video?

    is this an elevator???

  • FAKE: first the elevator door was a normal door and they went out through the door when they thought they were there but the elevator somehow was still moving!!!

  • @100DarkDude No its not fake,

    Reason why:

    First the Elevator was modded, Second the brakes and the gearbox came apart causing

    the elevator to Freefall UP.

  • @YaShotBIt Consider it rapid assent. Freefall-up makes no sense. ; )

  • Yea seriously, fuck that.

  • did they get out in the middle of the travelling? !!!!!!!!

  • the reason i throw a tantrum when my mum tries to get me in a lift. i go up via the stairs

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck that

  • fuck that ill take the stairs

  • Fake.

  • @Skoda130 so is your face

  • A paternoster with doors that failed.

    My guess is that it worked correctly when they go on and failed right after.

    Look up paternoster and you will see the ones with no doors.

  • @Arabhacks Paternosters are pretty much belts with passenger boxes on them, they move in a loop and technically don't have a top or bottom to hit...sorta like an Escalator, except the box doesn't flip over when it goes over the top or under the bottom. Even if a Paternoster fails or breaks, it can't go anywhere, so it just stops.

  • Hahaha sooooo fake lol u I wanna try it

  • holy shit man

  • The elevator had still power to go up but after it spent all power upwards it will drop rapidly.

    That what it looks to me

  • This elevator is possessed. 

  • it is fake i serched the date nothing about this

  • Topic title "Dad & Daughter escape being crushed as elevator malfunctions"

  • Death Of Elevator

  • this is why i hate going on elevators

  • From the film "The Tower" scary shit!

  • I wish move elevators would move that quickly!!!

  • This lift come from Hell...

  • its like he KNEW what would happen ._.

  • when the door compleatly closes the elevator stops

  • 1:45 - "You have arrived at your destination."

  • SCARY

    

  • counter weight fail

  • From the movie "The Tower" 1993... @__@

  • the door was just acting stupid lol

  • they were like "fuck this"

  • anke se sono un operatore elettrico,la mia paura rimane l'ascensore

  • @jojo8628 Se capiti in un'ascensore così...chiunque avrebbe paura. Il fatto è che gli incidenti in ascensore non sono rarissimi, però questo è davvero fuori dal comune. Credo che oltre ad andare in tilt il sistema "logico" abbia fatto cilecca anche la parte meccanica perchè se guardi bene, verso la fine la cabina ha un sussulto...in quel momento credo abbia ceduto qualcosa che l'ha letteralmente fatta schizzare via senza la possibilità di intervento del paracadute; e va a sbattere! Terribile

  • Dover truly

  • WTF is wrong with this elevator?

  • seriously man LOLLLLLLLLLLL

  • Fuck sake people. When they were going out the elevator was still moving... If one of them got caught between the inside of the elevator and the outside, they would have been decapitated and killed... For the glass though, that wouldn't kill, just cut you slightly...

    Like so people can see this :)

  • Comment removed

  • @MrCJRussell search the movie "de lift" it is a dutch movie, 10 years old, but it makes you to avoid any elevator

  • @MrCJRussell You have no life.

  • How Did They Escape??? I Didnt See Any Door Opening When The Other Door Opened

  • holy shit they had a lucky escape

  • the politicians made exiting an elevator shorter to save money. lol

  • How come the door was opening and closeing ? and it dident stop on the over travel limits before buffering.

    could it be that the brake malfunctioned so it free wheeled its way up the well ,even so it hit with quite a force.

  • I don't understand after reading the comments how anyone who has watched this video would think the elevator was going down.

  • @sonic2batt Wacth the end and you will see

  • @bjoker2421 I did watch the entire video and obviously the elevator was going UP. So therefore you can conclude that at the end of the video the car crashed into the ROOF of the shaft.

  • It wouldn't have killed them if they stayed inside neither? it malfunctioned and went UP not DOWN. They were more likely to get killed by trying to escape did you see how she was to being squished? :L

  • why did they start to get out then?

  • Is the elevator alright?

  • Meu Deus! Essa foi por pouco!

  • The governor is designed to stop a falling lift only and most lifts have no safety device to stop it "falling" in the up direction. This event can happen if the brakes fail because the counterweight weighs the same as the lift car + 40% of its rated load. There is a device called a rope brake which is designed to stop this but most lifts don't have them fitted.

  • Rymacs right, as the lift gets to floor they manage to get out just avoiding getting sliced in two because the lift brake has failed allowing the lift to free wheel up the shaft being pulled by the counterweight going down. Brakes are designed to be fail safe so god knows what happened in this case..

  • OMG

  • It looks like the braking system failed and it flew up the shaft because of the counterweight.

  • @Rymac91 i agree but how was the door opening and closing and it just stopped in the middle and them while it was getting higher it sped up

  • @matthewtchernev123 I'm not sure what was happening with the door, but I'm guessing it might be acting like a brake when partially open. The elevator is "confused" about why it's moving, it's trying to stop on a floor, and open the doors... but the brakes aren't working and because it's not actually leveling with the floor, the outside doors aren't opening. Eventually whatever was causing the door to slow the car stops working and it then speeds to the top of the shaft.

  • @Freezfy Elevators have enough force to decapitate or sever a person while in motion. There have been quite a few reported fatal incidents when someone got stuck between the elevator car and the floor.

  • sue the company make some money man

  • wth?

  • Bad old elevator. Shouldn't get new ones better than crap elevator system has failure or broken???? That was luckiest being escape from elevator!!! What a save the one children! Goodness me.

  • Elevator system failure! Shouldn't replace old elevator yet. Should be get new one Hi-tech elevator better will be fully safe. How loss to stopped by the correctly of the floors!! They've been crash at top floor. How was lucky no ones injuries!!! Should be replace the elevator at the moment. Very bad elevator system.

  • I think elevator slide door string was broken or elevator system failures? Should try used the stairs then tell call the elevator engineering man needs replace the elevator. Oh dear is your daughter might be feel cause of pralazed or is ok? That very nightmares of the elevator!!!

  • Oh my god! Well... Should replace the elevator! That badly elevator system of 100% error of failures. Should be replacement those of elevator then will brand new elevator with Hi-technology system fully safe better. Also brand elevator with slide doors inculding eye indutor doors safety better than old shut-the-door & single slide doors. What so badly nightmares of the elevator!!! Should Take Care of it and used stairs instead!

  • This is one hell of a way to ride up to heaven.

  • that was close they would have been ripped in half

  • Wat Happened..gosh i'm so confused haha??

  • I suppose that's not as deadly as crashing into the bottom floor at 60mph.

  • I like whale kind animal but I eat whale meet very good tastey part of culture to do why not

  • That's seriously messed up!

  • OMG!

  • This would make a great movie.

  • Okay, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like it crashed into the roof, after malfunctioning in such a way that made it unable to stop going up. It doesn't look like it fell to the bottom. If so, they might have actually been okay if they'd stayed on. Well, better off than if it had fallen and they'd stayed on. And, I don't mean to judge the father in his split-second realization and decision to jump off before his daughter, but man if he'd made it and she didn't, he'd hate himself.

  • @sorenkierkegaard2008 Yup, Crashed 'upward'

  • They just needed some elevator music to make this more interesting(:

    The reason they would have died if the elevator fell would be that the elevator is falling faster than them so they would be stuck on the ceiling of the elevator the whole time it was falling so when the elevator actually hit the ground they would come down and hit the ground really hard, which could lead to a fatal injury of just straight out kill them.

  • When it hit the top I mean going up not falling down*

  • if they stayed in it and jumped just before it hit the ground they woulda been fine!

  • @chasym

    It doesn't work like that.

  • oh wow

  • uuuuuuufffffffffffffffff!!!!!!­!

  • it's like *get on* *Oh look hai*fixes hair* oh look lets go *VROOM* OMG GET TO DA CHOPPAH

  • They didn't seem too alarmed it was like: "How's my hair look? ...OK, time to jump out of the falling elevator now..."

  • Its the hurry up and wait elevator. Genius in design. Very efficient in the fact that it keeps moving.... until we learn that it was built by the polish

  • @mrnightowl Great. Lets make fun of Poland now. Just wait. European's Mexico will demolish the world someday

  • ppppp-pwned

  • There was nothing wrong with the elevator. Maybe the hotel was sinking. Ever think of that?

  • OMG!!! The morel of the story... ladies first!

  • @drippingtalon actually that's not the moral of the story because had the girl gone first the dad would have died. the only reason they both made it out alive is because the dad went first and by the time the space started closing in on them he was safe and the girl was safe also since she could fit through. If she had gone first he would not be able to fit through once the gap began closing in

  • @drippingtalon

    Hah if the small lady went first the dude wouldn't make it through that small opening.

  • woah.... they were just lucky... what happend when an old lady come in... WOAH last part it crashed...!!!

  • where the fuck was jebus ? He's never there when you need him, the dumbass.

  • ???

  • cool i want more

  • boring

  • that video is disturbing! lol!

  • they would have been fine if they stayed in the elevator.

  • @paintdataint except for the fact that the ceiling would fall on them, and theyd be stuck there

  • dont get it

  • FAIL!!!

  • omg thats horrible

  • I would have slipped on my own poop and die.

  • creepy

  • There lucky they got out of that elevator

  • That needs fixing.

  • @jdtayloruk well, da... ya think so?

  • see you later, elevator.

  • i'd just like to know ,why a camera is in the elevator....

    what next cams in restrooms....

  • @Miscreant435 there have been cams in elevators for years and years they are hidden most of the time

  • @theendofit ...so much for ur privacy....

    world & Big brother ,getting more & more

    intrusive, in our lives

  • @Miscreant435 why is it a bad thing to have a camera in an elevator it is not a privet area on top of that it can help save your life if you got trapped in one how would they know you were in it. plus it can help catch criminals.

  • @theendofit ..u don't get it ,so i won't waste my time explaining it as an invasion of privacy....

    i don't wish to be taped everywhere i go..maybe u do ,fine...

    to each ,his or her own....

  • @Miscreant435 but it is not your privacy when you are in a public place.

    i do not think that peoples phone calls should be lisitned to i do not think that pepole should have to worry about being watch when in their own house.

    and i do not think that cameras should be in bathrooms.

    but when your out in public YOU are choosing to be in public. its like walking around naked in a city and getting angered for pepole looking at you and telling them not to look because they are invading your privacy.

  • @theendofit ...are u trying to get me to agree w/ u ,

    i will not...

    you choose to be in the public,? what..?

    as opposed to never leaving ur home...please, no more of this...

    the example of going naked is just absurd in doesn't fit, in the discussion, of personal privacy & liberties taken....

  • @Miscreant435 Thanks for agreeing with me I knew you would and thanks for the buttercups.

  • no failsafe switches? lol who constructed this shit.

  • props to that little girl for not freaking out and not staying on!

  • elevator arent safe

    statistic shows many people are getting killed each year by elevator

  • the lift went over the top so it crashed. omg lucky them... wow. that is creepy

  • imagine if this it didn't have a speed limit LOL

  • the elevator was a pedo tried to keep the daughter

  • A similar thing happened in India and a little girl was dragged floors down and gored to death. These are preventable accidents. Good that these two got out.

  • i dont see how that would kill them i didnt get it.. :/ i know im retarded

  • @Freezyfy well as u see in hte mirror it started moving when they where half way if they would ahve tripepd or something they mgith ahve gotten split in half because of the enormous streangth of the elevator.... then they couldnt have showed it on youtube

  • @Freezyfy just think of it as a guillotine

  • @Freezyfy So you cant tell if an elevator is about to squash someones body?

  • @Freezyfy The elevator never stopped, they jumped out of it and they were about to be crushed!

  • @Freezyfy Look @ :28 that could mangle someone right in half...

  • @Freezyfy What you mean you don't see how "that" would kill them? The elevator is obviously broken and it was falling down like 10+ stories high and when it hit the bottom the wire and the thing ( What you call them the things that attach to the elevator and help it move up and down.. ) break down due the the super impact it did.

  • @Freezyfy

    that could have crushed them.

    elevators are heavy. alot heavier than a person, and ceilings are hard, and unmoving.

    if a elevator, is going up with a person, the wall wont move, and the elevator wont stop. the people would get crushed.

  • @Freezyfy ermm... if the kid would have tripped she would probobly have been cut in half by the elevator.

  • @Freezyfy The door opened while the elevator was still moving and they got out! VERY VERY DANGEROUS!!

  • Good thing they hired all those new elevator techs in New York.

  • looked like a Wonka elevator that didnt make it through the glass ceiling

  • @mattm172 Here we go! Up and out! Or not...

  • elevator of death's r hawt!

  • I doubt that would have killed anyone. It looks like it got pulled to the absolute top and slammed into the stoppers.

    Elevators are all created with a type of "Anti-drop" locks. Even if you cut the cable, the room will lock in place, if the system failed, power shut down, etc - it auto locks. The system has to disengage the locks to move it. No power = locks clamp down. No prevention for a glitch that causes it to keep pulling it to the top though.

  • @xRawlins i don't think so either, it just barely hit the top. They might have hopped a little

  • @xRawlins - Yes, you can get killed. Back in August 1983 I lived in the Manhattanville projects in NYC, I saw a 7 year old girl killed when an elevator that was stuck between floors moved. Several people got off the elevator, but there were so many more left. I was standing on the 9th floor and the elevator floor is at eye level to me, I was 13. The parents placed the 7 year old girl on the elevator floor to jump off, but the elevator moved and crushed her, folder her in half between floors.

  • @xRawlins but if it catches the guy or the girl midway while leaving the elevator? does it crush them to death or stops?

  • @gia257 crushes them.

  • @xRawlins umm did you NOT see how they were getting OUT when it started to go up? You go ahead and put your body half way out an elevator and see what happens when your body meets the top of that floors ceiling....you will be split in two.

  • I was thinking the same thing.

  • Holy shit, I don't think they realized they were seconds away from death.
