- PROPERLY STUCK IN A LIFT - It's high up on my bucket list!!!
However, microprocessor control means that you can program "if stuck, then start up again and let passengers out" - IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN IS IT??? I WANT RELAYS!!!!
But this is at least a contender, we did get stuck (for a short time GRRRRRRR!)
By the way, please don't refer to the lift as a death trap because lifts are designed go up and down a shaft with passengers. No matter how grotty they look, I've never heard of one that is designed to trap and kill (sorry, just a little annoying phase I hear too often haha! ;)

'Lift gets stuck' You - "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"
Lol
Indeed
@@Trootsbloxplayzthemetalfan ?
yeah it is my favorite situations
It's terrible that no one was responding to the alarm.
The lifts at my workplace make a very irritating alarm sound and there is a (Kone) phone at the office that has such a loud, permanent "beep" going on you GOTTA take it off and answer to the cab's intercom, else your ears fall off..
EDIT: Ah, yeah, the notice in the end is in every cab. So yes, 10 seconds would have done the trick!
At the place i used to work at for a short while, you had to "acknowledge" an elevator alarm (This was done to prevent prank calls) and the high-pitched "Wi-U Wi-U Wi-U" Kone alarm made my ears bleed until i or someone else hit "acknowledge" and made it connect to Kone...
Love those Thames valley style lifts.
Is getting stuck in an elevator like some kind of weird fetish?
Thankfully not
Wat , no, it's just fun, like a rollcoaster getting stuck .
I got stuck in this tiny tiny elevator yesterday, and I'm claustrophobic..
I was stuck in there for 5 hours and was crying and hyperventilating...
5hours! Dang, how did you get oxygen? Or I guess it seemed like 5 hours. Glad you are out!
Daisy Singh what do you mean "how did you get oxygen"? Lifts aren't airtight, you know....
Seamus Addamson actually, there are some lifts which does not let air enter in the life and some people have died in elevators due to lack of oxygen, do your research
At least you didn't pass out from a heart attack!
Phanic! At the Twenty Seconds of Romance Same But Inever been stucked in a elevator or a lift
Lol is that in high Wycombe??? I got stuck in that exact same lift 😂😂😂
Yep! This is Wycombe Swan car park.
Great video never have been stuck but I was in an elevator here in the states that free falled. It was a 1940's Otis touch sensitive that dropped while other cars were being modernized it went unresponsive at first floor then all the way up to 16 then just dropped but thankfully stopped at 15 and opened. The force did force me to my tiptoes then I fell to the floor when it stopped.
+historiclift27 OTIS! How dare you. How dare you make your elevator freefall on one of the best filmers ever! That's it. I'm filing a complaint to OTIS.
Were a lot of people in the elevator, or were you the only one in the elevator? If it was a traction elevator, if it was a brake failure, it would have freefalled going up as the counterweight is heavier than the car, unless the car was filled to over half of the capacity or so. I doubt all of the cables snapped as that would be very unlikely, and if they snapped the governor would have cut off power to the elevator, and the doors would have not opened.
Maybe the motor was running faster than it should for some reason, and stopped suddenly because it couldn't slow down that quickly (I think once the stop contact on the selector completes the circuit, the brake is applied on a relay logic elevator, if it was travelling at an unintended high speed it may not come close to slowing down before stopping).
Do you know if the elevator ran after this happened?
Why would you want to get stuck in a lift? I was once stuck in one when I was 4 and for about 6 years after that I wouldn't go in lifts, but luckily I am no longer scared of them.
+Joe yes I suppose once upon a time lol it would have freaked me out, but now I really want to get stuck in a traction lift and film the rescue - hand winding, etc!! Exciting times!
+mrmattandmrchay
I once witnessed someone getting stuck, but they managed to open the doors by hand before the elevator technician came, though the technician still came, and I got to watch him troubleshoot the elevator, and talk to him (he liked relay logic better than solid state/microprocessor controllers!).
Hey Mr Matt, i have a story when me and my father (with 2 strangers) ever got stuck in a lift and get rescued (not by the emergency hatch). I was about to go up with the elevator. The floor number wasn't showing when we enter the lift (which is suspicious) but i decided to enter the lift. When i enter the lift, the door slowly close then when i picked what floor i wanted to go, it didn't light up. The doors open button isn't responding either but the lights was on. I decided i press the Emergency button for 5 sec (i followed how Heritage Elevator did it) and they respond! They tried to open the door using the lift door key but it didn't work idk why. So they called their crew to force open the doors and i think there is 4 people just to open the doors. it took about 5 minutes just to open the doors to let us free. The lift isn't that old at all (maybe its about 7 years old right when i got stuck). There are many people watching us to get rescued at that time. When we got out we just thank them then used the escalator. The next day me and my father wanted to use that elevator again and it did pretty normal (no even scared, just wanted to try for fun). Although that lift was a bit faulty than the other lift which is the same. If you are wondering what lift is that its Mitsubishi Elevators (probably they bought the cheap ones lol).
I LOVE YOUR INTRO! You guys keep up the good work!
+Elevation Station Productions Thanks! Took me about 1 hour to film it - took a lot of practice to get the camera angle exactly right, activate the shaft lighting at the right time, and then get the lift to go non-stop to the top floor. Then another month to edit it! Tracking the top and counterweight(lightning effect) too ages!. When I was filming it, I actually "DIDN'T" have an idea that it would become my intro. I wanted something like this... czcams.com/video/OBiqFLdPIQ8/video.html see 1:04. I wanted to film under a lift, going into the pit with "mrmattandmrchay" logo coming out of pit. But after I reviewed the footage, I realised that "this is it!!! my intro". I think is much better than the dark pit idea, as I love the lighting effect of the flood lights on the concrete ceiling.
I'm familiar with the location of these lifts and have used them myself from time to time, seen better days. As far as I know, it was quite common for at least one of these to be inoperable, whether due to being switched off or just plain broken who knows!
I was stuck in an elevator/lift once in 2016. We were in a car in a 5 story office building. We were all going up from the ground floor. Lightning struck the building and we lost power. The car didn't go to the next floor but stopped dead. The lights went out and we turned on our flash lights on our cell phones. There were 3 of us, all strangers, one person in a panic. The fire alarm went off and we pushed the alarm and call buttons. A person responded and we waited... We heard the fire department sirens and a lot of commands being yelled out. We started pressing the alarm ringer in a pattern of SOS. They heard us and they made sure we weren't in danger. Then waited a bunch more. Fire department was there.. couldn't get the doors open. They did put the fire out on the outside roof, apparently it was the building's sign that got struck. They start using all sorts of pry tools and we see just a bit of light coming through the crack in the doors they had made. We saw we were stuck between two floors. The elevator company eventually arrived and got the door open. I'll never forget it was a Fire Marshall who helped me climb out of the car. He was not a bit happy as we were stuck in the elevator car for 2 hours. I used the stairs for the remainder of time that we worked out of there. As silly as it sounds, If I take an elevator, I at least make sure I've got a few provisions.
I hate lifts like that, I will only go in glass lifts haha
Tom Jardine same XD
Me to
IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND YOUR CHANNEL ALL DAY!
A few years ago we were at a church function in a school hall, the hall being on the second floor with a mini lift probably more for wheelchairs etc. The main rout being by a nice wide set of stairs.
Anyway, at the end, a bunch of people packed into the lift only to get stuck at the ground floor. The lifts doors had windows and it appeared the car had gone too far, or was it overweight, either way it just sat there ignoring the buttons and with no obvious way to open the door.
A school official came over and opened a panel next to the lift, in it was a strange handle/shaft thingie with a hinge in the middle aloingside some more buttons etc, he had no idea about the handle, however I figured it out, inserting it into a hole, allowed the hinged bit to drop, I then slowly turned it where it engaged with the door mech and allowed us to manually open the doors.
As soon as everyone was out the lift sprung back into life, kind of validating my thought on overweight.
The official had also called a maintenance tech, however he was over an hour away, not sure how the people in the lift would have coped as it was very tight in there, with probably poor ventilation.
After everyone was out we could now see a warning sign, "maximum load 3 people", I think we had double that in there if not more.
My only other incident was with a few blokes from work, one a tad over-energetic started doing Muhammad Ali type manurers, dancing around us and throwing short punches. The lift car started bouncing somewhat, then everything shut down. nothing was working other than the light. Luckily after a delay everything kicked back in and we were able to select a floor and get out. 'Muhammad Ali' having leaned his lesson and staying still.
Would be pretty bad if the lift got stuck for real and the emg. call button wasn't connected to anything... Still, someone would probably discover the alarm and call the EMS. Thanks for the great video as always!
Tip: If your really stuck, you need to press the alarm for 5 minutes at least or call the life repair service
This reminds me of my dad and I when I was a kid. :) He got me interested in elev... "lifts" for a short while.
+David Irwin (passacaglia28) Cool! I was hoping that Chay would do the same, but he isn't THAT interested anymore :/
Ok kids, now you know if *you mess with the lift, the lift messes with you*
i feel like i can't breathe watching this
phone:call 911 lift:im broken in 3 floor
hi matt why did the lift do that was it something to do with the floor controller or something else either way very interesting to see
Only an elevator aficionado would actually WANT to get stuck in a lift :).
3:27 ReEeEeEeEeEeE ThIs Is FuN
OMG THAT HIGH WYCOMBE ITS NEAR ME :OOOOOOOO
Snap I live near High Wycombe and St. Albans.
I LOVE THOSE BELLS!!!!!
I go Brunel and the library lifts and lecture centre lifts regularly go out of service, probably bc the uni doesn't invest in spare parts
Strange - I think the controllers are malfunctioning.
I'm glad I never got stuck in an elevator yet.
one of my FAVORITE situations
Just come across this video again 6 years later, back when I first watched it, 13 year old me didn’t have a clue, but 19 year old me now recognises that as high Wycombe since I moved to Aylesbury and started driving buses. One of the routes being into Wycombe 😂
When I was younger I always hated these lifts at the swan, and now I see why
Tip:wanna get stuck? Force open the door while it moves.
His son is smiling and chilled, ID PROBABLY WET MYSELF
Bucket lift? A wish come true? Oh man! I am allways panicking if an elevator gets stuck, trapping me inside. It is soo scary!
+ADDEs Transporting Adventures! haha!! Yes, I would have liked to be PROPERLY STUCK, not sure Chay would have though :D
haha nice, how they cant check broken liftz but actually funny😌👉
what a notice that i have noticed ^.^
My hubby used to live in a bad block of flats- he got stuck in the lift once and the fire brigade had to get him out. I always used the stairs after that
+Stephanie Perrin its strange but id love to get properly stuck to witness the rescue process. I am interested in lifts and it probably wouldn't appeal to anyone else
So close but yet so far :D
Don't give up, there will be that special day ;-)
+Michael “Mike i386” Roll Haha, hope so, but it's getting more and more difficult as modern day lifts have intelligence programmed into them to return to a floor and open the doors. Older relay generation can only "turn off" and await an engineer causing an entrapment!
You have to press the alarm button for a certain amount of time
One of The lifts has same voice and chime as Victoria centre old lifts ( express lifts which are now gone )
What kind of lifts are they ?
It seemed odd that there wasn't a stop button on the panel. And no mention of the 10 second alarm button hold IN the cab?
I must admit, it would freak me out that the lift thought it was on level 9 when really on 3. But, thinking back to your videos on how lifts work, the controller would catch up quickly and display the correct floor when you got to the basement (as it did in this video). Plus, there are things like limit switches, emergency stop brakes and unless all those systems are comprimised, you are pretty safe.
Would hate to be claustrophobic though >.
Very lucky I have never got stuck in a lift before a lift stalled on me but never got stuck
hello good afternoon did you get stuck in the elevator?
I hate elevators (lifts) a fear of getting stuck I guess. (but love your videos). When I was in a hotel, my family and I were in the lobby and were waiting for a lift. A fat family was in line first, the doors opened, they got in, the other lift was climbing up for someone else, so we had no choice except to get in with the fat family. I tell you, they must have been at least 700lbs, all together. 2 childs, 2 parents. Horrible. Plus us which may be 400. We were struggling to get up to the 4th floor. It was the longest lift ride and scariest I ever had! Once we got there, the fat fam. got off first and the elevator INSTANTLY went up 4 inches to meet the floor properly :D :D
Thought the cables were going to snap that ride.
ha ha funny and scary at the same time
I got stuck in the same elevator and I was in there for like half hour and it was in-between the floors basement and floor one it was proper stuck
You getting in the elavator YAAAAAAAY
Your chest so puffed guy
Well thanks CZcams. You've got me interested in old lifts now haha
Ah...cool! Thanks very much for the comment. Could I please make the following suggestion for another video to watch? ...czcams.com/video/WO-bwdsSCPM/video.html
Me : *scared to even step in the elevator*
Him : *trying to get stuck on purpose*
Sounds like the logic seriously messed up, mixed up floors, display going blank, lol
+Kai Attree Something is definitely not happy. A complete guess is it's a power supply related issue to a particular part of the controller (could be low volts taking that part of the system offline for a short time, then it recovers). The floor indicator when it woke up, it was out of sync, but very soon corrected by the position switch at the bottom of the shaft.
mrmattandmrchay Is the lift original or is it modded (and was is modded by generic? Generic mods can sometimes be really cheap and nasty and affect the reliability of the lift)
+mrmattandmrchay
I have seen an elevator with a somewhat similar issue (every now and then, the elevator would suddenly stop when moving if moving, and the indicator would go out, but then the indicator would turn back on maybe about 5-10 seconds later, and the elevator would move again if you press a floor button, was the elevator losing power?).
+Kai Attree When the car park was built in early 1990s, only the RIGHT lift existed. They put the shaft in for the left lift, but never installed it. Mid-late 1990s then put in the LEFT lift, which is slightly more modern - the buttons and LED displays inside the lift are slightly more modern. So they are BOTH original, but right lift was installed when the car park was built in 1990, the left lift installed about 5 years later.
Having said this, these are just generic lifts from the 1990s.
+upanddownadventures Very difficult to tell, but it would appear that some part of the controller stopped working causing the lift to stop and go into idle state ready for a new call to be placed. Exactly what can cause this depends on the type of controller and parts that go into making up the complete control system. In my experience of the systems we use (non-lift related) a lack of voltage due to a degraded low voltage power supply "I guess" could cause such an issue. When relays or contactors de-energise, volts increase enough to liven up the controller again, etc.
Does anyone know what the chime and voice is at 3:05?
So why did the lift suddenly die? What do think was/is the problem matt?
Not sure and can only guess. My guess is, one of the controller cards or detectors depowered due to a power supply problem. When it lost communication then the lift cannot determine the input/output status of whatever failed. The controller card resets, the lift can start again. Very vague but unless you are an engineer sent out to fix it, we can only just guess.
Most lifts i have seen have a 3 second to 5 second timer on how long you hold the alarm but this?! Is soooooo long I would not press and hold it for 10 seconds. What a suprise that is.
+schindlerteejay94 Yes, that's right. I too was surprised to find this - I didn't even notice it, looked like one of these advertisements. Should have been placed next to the button.
what is the name of the elevator
How did you get out
You confused the logic circuits with the fumes from your egg McMuffin!
Safetybreak it, then you'll get stuck!
Where are those
Lifts at?
that scheming Mrs Chit getting her own back..
haha!
What kind of lifts are those and do they still exist
These are roped hydraulic, which is a hydraulic ram at the side of the shaft and several pulleys, making... 1 movement of the ram=2 movements of the lift (1:2 ratio). They are still there, but the RH lift button's have recently been replaced.
Where in High Wycombe?
Whats the Name of the intro Sound Track ?
McDonalds breakfast?!!!?! I have Pancakes with maple syrup and a hash brown when I have a McDonalds breakfast!
+TheBoshMeister99 I prefer the big breakfast but I don't think they do it anymore :(
mrmattandmrchay They don't. I have looked on their breakfast menu and they don't do it anymore. Sorry. :(
Lit intro
Whats yhe difference of elevator and lifts?
None, in the UK (and a few other places such as New Zealand) we call them Lifts.
I would burn that Bell Up till someone come got me out.
These Lifts Are Older Dewhurst With Bennie Voice.
Oh Im Wrong Its An Adair Lift But Its Not A Bennie Voice.
And Its Similar Too Dewhurst. But Its An Adair.
Where's the location of these lifts?
Hi Morgan, High Wycombe, Swan theatre car park.
2:19 Press the alarm button little man! 2:20 (something)(i think he said no) 2:21 It's not gonna blow up or anything! WHY IS IT SO FUNNY
hi matt are you doing anymore lift videos if so when not done any for awhile
+barry d Hi, Certainly am! In fact, I was just about to activate my next one, but then noticed it's missing the "warning" at the start (having to export again). I'm just coming out of my lunch period, so may have to activate later. I have a lot of videos on the go, but TIME is the problem :)
I'm pretty sure that's an older KONE
I got stuck in a Schindler lift at Meadowhall on my own not that long ago. My phone had no battery and my camera was at home, dammit.
+HN02 and you had no camera to film it with... massive "damn it" lol
I always wondered what would happen if you got stuck in a lift.
+alloria I'd film it, get excited about it AND film the rescue of course :D
+mrmattandmrchay I'd be scared. And BTW how the heck can you be happy to be stuck in a lift? That's super scary! I guess you like riding dangerous lifts if you like getting stuck in them.
elevator photagraphy4u PHAH! I tried that in the lift at my school and it didn't get stuck.
elevator photagraphy4u because the lift will think it's an earthquake. Some lifts don't get stuck no matter how much you jump, but I'm always careful.
YEEEEEEE
My worst nightmare
Why are you scared or don't like water tanks?
Hey remember the KONE m series(the one with issues?) maybe the same problem?
+gutteboy uhm, sorry can't remember that one :)
+mrmattandmrchay You LIKE getting stuck in lifts? You're insane to like getting stuck in lifts.
***** It's not fun to get stuck at all. I get scared easily.
I wis doing that to and I got stuck and the lights went off
is he from the netherlands?
i thought it becouse i saw some dutch text in an other video
That thing needs some attention! How could that be caused?
It's old, but most lifts are not designed to trap and kill ;) But old lifts is what my channel is all about, so the more the better for me :)
mrmattandmrchay Sorry about my original comment! Didn't read the description!
hey no need to apologise LOL. It's a common phase the word 'death trap' but it's a little OTT, but everyone uses it. Oh yes, and now I've realised that I said that in the description :)
Epic Fail
Elevator got stuck
Thats why you need to modernizate lifts!!!!!
These are not "really" old. The lift on the right was installed about 1991. The one of the left was added about 5 years later (was just an empty shell waiting for the budget to install a new lift)
I wonder how to install lifts in an already finished lift shaft.
The '69 lift in my residential building is breaking down more often and it gets expensive. It has some creepy visuals outside the cabin (looks like pre-WWII and I would not be surprised if there's asbestos) but the TÜV (German technical supervision agency thingy) finds faulty safety features here and there every time they inspect that thing and I wonder if we owners (54 appartmens and each contributes to the upkeep of the whole estate) can replace it one day.
worse than being stuck in an lift is getting stuck in an lift in which you should not be
In case of fire don’t use the lift use the staircase
STUCK!
Gustavo Gusto Werbung wie geilllll
I have never got completely stuck in a lift, but ALMOST! Almost 6 times I think! I wish I can get my dream come true too lol
+gutteboy I've gotten stuck in a historic otis lift before. Only time in my life but it was only for 5 mins until the lift started moving again.
:D
Uphoisting Experiences by Technicalboy3000 that's not stuck, that's 'almost'. I've almost got stuck in lifts 7 times I think
gutteboy Same here dude. But once I really DID get stuck in a lift. It was an old OTIS from the 1930s.
+gutteboy several years ago i remember getting stuck in an elevator, the door refused to open, the funny thing is, it was brand new at a fancy hotel i was staying at
What is your favorite brand of lifts mine is Otis
Old lifts, yep I agree... Otis. Love watching the very old controllers working (like this one of mine... czcams.com/video/TK5cYSRvmUY/video.html )
Jaden VerDuin I prefer Kone elevators, and I love the classic "floor arrival" chime.
Kone
Jaden VerDuin mine is ThyssenKrupp
if I was in there I would be crying
when I was a kid, me too, but my interest in lifts turned into a facination so "NOW" I would welcome being trapped and rescued just for the experience!! But since I was a kid, I've learnt all about lifts and I know that being hurt in one is very very unlikely.
There is not much of a rescue going on. I've been stuck and there was no fire brigade or something, it was a guy from the building management that basically changed to manual operation in the lift room and slowly moved the cab down until I could escape and then opened the door with the evactuation "key" (a little hex-wrench thing) by shoving it into a hole of the metal door frames and pushed the doors aside. He just asks if everything's fine and most probably turns the lift on and off and buzzes off... But you could probably also start a nice chit-chat with that guy, as you are a lift hobbyist :-)
Also, the alarm sound is a terrible fire alarm-like digital "ee--ooo--ee---oo" noise, so no nice ringing like in this video :) Kone likes electronic noises for lifts apparently.
At my workplace, also a KONE, the 2001's freight elevators are hydraulic and you rescue people by turning it off completely in the engine room and release pressure from the system*. There is a little button/switch thing on a tank-like part of the machinery and it makes a very loud hissing noise outside the machine room when you press it, so I really guess I am taking away pressure by releasing compressed air, just like the doors of a omnibus. Apparently it works similar to a tipper truck. The cabin then goes down very, very slowly by its own weight and then you can open it in the lower floor with said hex-wrench. Evacuation by gravity :-) Note it's a 2-storey lift, this is of course not as easy in a multi-storey building.
* This is at least what that TÜV guy during his explanation told us. I have signed that I understood how to rescue people but I forgot all of it already again.
yeah evel owl
I don't get it! I don't get messaged when you're uploading a new video! (i wish I did, lovely video as always ;) )
+gutteboy Thanks Dennis :) I think you have to look me up in your channels you've subbed to and change the "to receive emails" option. Not sure exactly, but this is not enabled as default for anyone you sub to.
i've been having this problem with many others recently... i've activated it on you, tharedstonepro and my sister (jentegirl).
i still dont know why it wont alert me! ;(
Shuuuuuuuuu elevator, broken
drive? certainly you have a transit system. good way to be stuck in a lift.
What lift brand is this
Is this a Marryatt and Scott
+Icki Cheetah24 just a generic hydraulic from the late 90s
mrmattandmrchay oh
mrmattandmrchay NO WONDER WHY THE LIFT IS A PIECE OF CRAP!
broken elevators seem to be what you want for christmas it would seem
+Justin Noker yep that'll do fine!
Do you think there is crappy LESTER CONTROLS logic? Beno hates that!
+Knuckles the Echidna I don't know. I remember this car park being built - this was early 1990s, so I suppose they could be.
+mrmattandmrchay Just imagine the day when lifts like this are rare...
Karma lmao
Rather take stairs lifts are terrible
What lift is this?
Hi Finn, swan theatre car park, High Wycombe
@@mrmattandmrchay sorry to be a pain but what company made this? Also I’m a big fan
@@Finnstrains Ah thanks Finn! And no worries - I remember these lifts well. Back in the early 90s when the swan threate was built, only one lift existing on each side of the car park, but the lift shaft for the second lift was built. About 2 years later, they added the second lift (now, 2 lifts on each side of the car park). The first lifts had dewhurst buttons and a really crappy LED matrix display. The newer lifts had slightly different, but generic buttons, and a 7-segment LED display (still exists now). In about 2010, the LED displays on the landings were updated, but that's about it. So you still have a lift with 80s style dewhurst, and the lift next to it with slightly more modern buttons.
To answer your question, they are generic hydraulics - I've no idea which company installed them, but the parts are just generic ones that you can buy anywhere in the lift trade.
@@mrmattandmrchay What’s a lift trade?
A type of job. For example, if you're a chef then you work in the food trade. If you work in a shop then you're in the retail trade. If you're in the lift trade, then this makes you an engineer, manager, secretary, storeman, etc but you're still in the lift trade or industry. Hope that makes sense.
Because lift is old that's in you got stuck
