    A #boy put his umbrella's handle between #elevator doors to prevent it from closing in Fuzhou City, east China's Jiangxi Province. But suddenly the elevator closed and went into free fall while breaking the umbrella handle. The lift stopped at the 25th floor, holding the boy captive. Fortunately, the rescue team arrived in time and saved the boy.

      It's really odd because this channel is run by the Chinese government (like any other business in China is pretty much an extension of their government) and China actually does have problems with their elevators failing and free-falling because things there are made cheaply or with cut corners (search "tofu dreg construction") and China goes out of its way to cover these things up. I guess every now and then something slips through the cracks.

      JESUS CHRIST died for you on a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and was, is, and will be The TRUE LIVING GOD. In a prayer repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well. Have FAITH in CHRIST. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and turn away from all wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK SOON.

      They wrote "free fall" not that the elevator hit the ground.
      Many elevators (the good ones) have brakes, so if there is a free fall, the brakes engage to safely stop the elevator.

      @Gogito 875 well in physics what does free fall means? Accelerating towards the Earth due to gravitational acceleration right ? A life works on controlled descent. It's not a free fall as the tension on the ropes and the pulley system lowers the box at a controlled speed.
      But when the umbrella got stuck it caused the lift cables to loose tension and fall on it's own due to gravitational acceleration and the elevator's mass. There was no controlled force acting on the elevator to control the descen.
      But lifts have emergency braking systems in case this happens or the cables snap. And it brought the lift to a slow halt by adding friction to the railings through brakes and thus preventing the elevator from hitting the floor.
      So the frictional force is greater than the weight of the elevator so technically it's at a state of free fall stuck on the 25th floor.

    I work with elevators all the time, I can pretty much tell you what happened here.
    The kid held the door open for so long that it "timed out". Meaning it was gonna close and reset "no matter what was blocking it".
    After closing the elevator would do 1 of 3 things:
    - stop at the midway point between the highest and lowest floors
    - go to the main lobby
    - sit there until it figured out what floor it was on.
    That elevator didn't drop. Speed looked normal to me.
    Lesson to be learned here is never try and stop the doors by putting something in between them. If that was his arm, this would be a different story.

    @benolifts Před 5 lety +7597

    I am sick of people posting lies. This is a deliberate attempt to dumb people down. What happened is the lift went into nudge mode and ignored the beam sensors. The lift started moving as the doors closed enough for safety to connect. The lift started moving and when the umbrella hit the top it forced the doors open and broke safety leaving the lift stuck. The lift didn't freefall. Saying it free falled is very inaccurate and is unacceptable. Also if it freefalled it would have gone upwards because the lift is under half capacity.

    As a professional umbrella assembler, I can undeniably confirm that this little boy didn't know how to make the 'umbrella handle' retract into itself. So he definitely didn't have enough brains to hold an elevator door open!

    An elevator tech here - the elevator was moving down at a normal speed, not at "free fall". The umbrella that got stuck there probably either triggered some safety mechanism, or otherwise opened the safety circuit, and the elevator stopped. Nothing particularly unusual or dangerous here.
    What is more dangerous, is, as sometimes can happen, that someone goes to the elevator with a dog on a leash, and doesn't pay attention, and the dog wonders outside the elevator, the doors close, and the leash is stuck between the doors. A dog can get strangled in such a situation. Many elevators have a "stop" button that you can press, if something like that happens.

      Never use an umbrella to stop the lift door sensors from closing. Always use a leash tied to an annoying ex instead.

      That only happens in the movies. In an event that a real elvator would drop down, it has a built in brake mechanism that clamps down on the wires to stop it from descending. The only way for an elevator to plummet down is if someone cuts the wires which is almost impossible without the necessary tools to do so. In fact, it's safer to travel in an elevator than on an escalator or stairs.
