Trapped In A Lift
We never know when and where accidents will happen to us or people around us. Read on and hopefully this piece of information may help any of us when things do happen to ourselves, our friends, and our loved ones.
When you are facing life and death situations, whatever actions or decisions you make decide your survival. If you are caught in a lift breakdown, the first thought in mind may be ‘waiting to die’. However, after reading this, things will definitely be different the next time you are trapped in a lift.
1. Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift.
2. Hold on tight to the handle if there is any.
3. Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.
4. Bend your knees.
The reason is, when the lift falls, you will not know when it will hit the ground and it may result in a whole body bone fracture.
Point 1 - When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.
Point 2 - It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lose your balance.
Point 3 - Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back / spine as protection.
Point 4 - Ligament is a flexible connective tissue. The impact of fractured bones will be minimised from the severe pressure during the fall.
