Elevator Myths & Fears

****Elevator Myths & Fears****

MYTH: Many people believe elevators are held up by only one rope that can break, leaving passengers trapped in a falling car.  TRUTH: Elevators are supported by multiple steel cables. Each cable alone can support a fully loaded car.
MYTH: Some people believe they have been in an elevator where the elevator car fell several floors and then "caught itself".  TRUTH: This feeling is a mystery. Elevator experts believe people may think this happened because they 1) got on an elevator going in a different direction than expected, or 2) saw the elevator floor indicator lights flash by quickly which gave the visual impression of falling.
MYTH: Some people believe the hall doors will open when an elevator is not there. TRUTH: The truth is that the elevator car controls whether the hall doors open. If the car is not at the landing, the hall doors can't open because their opening can only be triggered by the arriving car engaging an unlocking device after the elevator has stopped at the landing.
MYTH: Some people believe that if an elevator is stuck between floors that they are in danger of falling and should try to get out. TRUTH: Absolutely not! Leaving the car on your own could result in injury. Elevator cars are designed as "safe rooms". The safest place is inside the car. Ring the alarm and wait for help. Leave the car only with the assistance of professional rescuers.
MYTH: Pushing the CALL button repeatedly will make the elevator appear faster. TRUTH: The call is registered just once; movement is in response to the elevator controllers.
MYTH: Pushing the DOOR CLOSE button closes the doors faster. TRUTH: It may cause the doors to close sooner, but not faster. However, if a buzzer sounds, the doors may close slower; it is important to get out of the doorway as quickly as possible.
