In modern society, high-rise buildings are densely packed and elevators are becoming increasingly popular. Elevators are used for commuting, going home, and shopping. However, while elevators bring great convenience to people's lives, there are also many safety hazards. When you encounter an elevator malfunction and are trapped inside, be calm and quick witted, and take the correct measures to save yourself.

1. Safety pliers

In terms of design principles, elevators have a counterweight system that is roughly equivalent to the weight of the car to ensure the traction transmission of the elevator. In addition, there are at least three and up to eight steel wire ropes for elevators, with a safety factor of more than ten times. Even in the case of complete loss of normal maintenance, at most one of the steel wire ropes will break, and it is impossible for all the steel wire ropes to break. Because as long as the elevator runs at more than 15% of its normal speed, the safety gear will be pulled and the car will get stuck on the track.

2. Calm down

When encountering a trapped elevator, remain calm, avoid panic, and refrain from taking extreme actions.

Press the emergency alarm button promptly and seek external assistance. If there is still signal on the phone, you can also make a call and seek external rescue.

If none of the above methods work, we need to shout for help loudly; When there is no response despite shouting for help, we can also choose to knock on the elevator with a hard object on our body.
