Leominster: KONE [DEATH TRAP] Elevator @ Macy's, Mall at Whitney Field (11/24/09)

KONEelevatorman111 said it's riding signifigantly worse, and to some degree, I had to check it out and prove him right.
It rocks more consistantly, and the "Big bang" did get worse (not evident first time). It also makes a moderate bang leveling at 1.
Needkless to say, La'Salle Malls are not any better than Simon, with maintanance of their elevators.

==============================
DEATH TRAP RATING: 2/10

* Big bang at 2 is louder
* Now bangs at 1
* Rocks more consistantly
* Harsh speed deltas: both directions
* Bump halfway up to 2
* Speed warbles halfway up to 2, onward
* Still bangs some leaving 2

I didn't know that trick back when I did this.

[sushicraver975]

That was pretty neat, but its too bad you didnt use the legendary open door trick :)

Since you can't post links here, I can give you the search terms:

"idle door trick view"

Thats interesting. Do you mind posting a link to that video, I would like to see what youre talking about but you have a lot of video and I dont know which one is the one youre talking about.

@sushicraver975

This video is old, and most of it's problems worked itself out. Death Trap status is long gone.

This is a dangerous ride, because the ceiling panels come loose, and may fall, and in my last video, the inner doors can be manipulated when you let it go into "Idle" mode.

I dont mean to be rude, but so what? Does this mean that its a dangerous elevator to ride?

@sushicraver975

This is outdated anyway, as it worked itself to be safer.

Anyway, it was to show how rough it once rode. It would sometimes rock hard enough to wobble the camera, not tiny jolts.

[sushicraver975]

whats the point of this video?

@blakstermc

Yep.

They have a medical emergency switch outside the elevator?
