This is a 6-story drop with the car loaded with 2000# of steel weights to confirm proper operation of a new buffer (the teal device at bottom right which catches the car in the event of an uncontrolled fall). Major equipment is 1965-vintage Otis.
Fire hazard, you would need A LOT of pillows and height in order to SLOW down the fall. Without enough height, you won't be able to make the fall "soft". Elevators are VERY heavy and dropping is like hitting a brick wall. All that force doesn't magically go away if it drops on a pillow.
0:18 Elevator goodbye
The elevator goes up at the end

Gas buffers with switches?
What's the instrument name?
It did look more controlled
Very cool. Thank you for sharing
1960s Otis is what made me scared of elevators smh lol
Wow...so it does not look as bad to drop from 6 stories...thank you for posting for us curious people. Still looks scary
Idk why but I find the sound of the elevator car calming when the wheels on it make that vroom sound
Sounds a bit like a Bakerloo line train speeding up lol
I thought the elevator was gonna brake your camera
I actually thought it would crush the camera😂
same
*break
yes
if it did then it would not be posted. because the camera is broken
love those car buffers! save you if everything else fails! lol
The actual video starts at 18 seconds.

0:17 OH MY GOD NOOB
0:20
I had never drop down with elevator when I'm inside
The camera with your shadow
AD😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🥵🥵🥵
this is fake bc the camera is under elevator, person go down floor
and a cut to where the elevator is up there
nope they would never fake a falling elevator because why would they and also that is the pit and the buffer which stops the elevator
