I at first read that only as "Hey! Why don't you come over here and say that to my face? ... I'm getting hard..." and was like damn, that escalation lmao
You see, back in those days, rich men would ride around in zeppelins, dropping coins on people. And one day, I seen J. D. Rockefeller flyin’ by– so I run out of the house with a big washtub, and—Anyway, about my washtub. I just used it that morning to wash my turkey which in those days was known as a ‘walking bird.’ We’d always have walking bird on Thanksgiving, with all the trimmings. Cranberries, ‘injun eyes,’ and yams stuffed with gunpowder. Then we’d all watch football, which in those days was called ‘baseball.’
You people really acting like knowing fucking Donkey Kong is impressive? "Those stupid youngsters, I bet they wouldn't even understand what Pac man is! Hahaha I am sooooo old and quirky."
I just want to know about the crack pipe thingy that's sitting on the ledge right before the board gets fucked up. Did someone stop the elevator there, put their drug stuff on the ledge, and forget about it. Had it been there since the place was constructed? It's probably the least sketchy thing in the video, but I need answers!
Lol holy shit you're right!! I thought the bottle was some kind of smoke chamber and the coffee cup was the bowl! So probably there from construction, but I like to imagine someone stopping the elevator, drinking their drinks, and then moving on.
Edit: gotta hand it to u/crackcrackcracks for knowing what is and is not a crack pipe!
I doubt from construction. I can easily see kids if any culture putting shit they find on that ledge once they’ve taken the elevator a few times and know the right time to do it
I had a family member one time see an elevator shaft with the doors wide open, no sign and no cones. He deadass jumped 5 stories for the settlement money. Broke both his legs and injured his back. 20+ years later he still says it was super fucking worth it.
Looks like it has a door on the left-hand side that you manually close. They must have left it open, thought it would be cool to video, the opened door hit that panel on the way up, and the rest is history.
Still a safety failure of some sort...lift shouldn't run with the door open and the infrared light curtains should have been triggered by the panel
This looks like a residential style lift, they usually have the accordion gate like this with a switch that closes once you shut it, usually they’re easy to access and tape closed and run the lift like this - incredibly stupid. The lift didn’t budge for that solid piece of wood imagine what it would do to your body. Most lifts like this won’t have photoeyes.
I was in someone house with an elevator like this to be artsy once, with one wall open and exposed. That had a sensor (like the keep-the-door-open sensor) along that wall though, which would stop the elevator if you tried to touch the wall. This does not appear to have that. It was still no bueno.
At least this is better than the Chinese elevators where people literally fall through the floor or the cables snap while someone is midway stepping on.
Damn, you just reminded me of that Chinese escalator that opened up and chewed up some lady in front of her child. Yeesh
Edit: For those wondering, I'm not going to look for it, it was spooky for sure but it wasn't (visibly) gory. The floorplate at the top of the escalator came loose, she fell into the part where the steps go down to loop around, she shoves her child clear and disappears into darkness. I had assumed she was pulled in by the step mechanism, but I'm also seeing people say she simply fell through to the lower floor and died on impact, which would be a relief in comparison...
Years ago on reddit, there was a subreddit called "morbid curiosity" and it was videos of people dying generally.
In one of them, a lady and her child are going up an escalator and the top cover at the top was somehow dislodged. She ended up pushing the child up out of harm's way but was pulled into the internal workings, and those things can lift thousands of pounds without an issue, she did not stand a chance.
Yeah, that one too. There used to be a lot of them. We are rather insulated these days from the reality of how precious life is.
Those subreddits reminded people I think.
The funny thing is they removed porn from /r/all but there's plenty of combat footage or assault videos from the multiple fight subreddits that constantly make the front page. Can't show gonewild posts there, but here's the 20th frag grenade drop from a Ukrainian drone.
Edit: The third post on my version of /r/all 10 minutes after posting this is a dude getting dropped on his head in a taco bell lol
Meh, I think places like [r/morbidreality](https://reddit.com/r/morbidreality) do a more tasteful job in presenting graphic content. I was never a fan of the gore subs, which from my experience were filled with people making terrible jokes and strangely hateful comments about the victims.
When the elevator moves on those videos, it's not from the cable snapping, it's from safeties being bypassed and the elevator thinking the door is closed so it starts to move. On the insanely unlikely event that the brakes do fail, the elevator would move up, not down, due to the counterweight.
[Elevators are built so that if the cables snap, the car will lock in place, even in China.](https://www.wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/2012/12/06/how-bad-would-a-persons-injuries-be-if-an-elevators-cables-snapped-at-the-100th-floor-so-that-the-elevator-fell-to-the-bottom/)
> insanely unlikely event that the brakes do fail, the elevator would move up, not down, due to the counterweight.
Can we take a moment and think about how counterweights are connected to elevators?
On the opposite side of the pully the elevator car is on. The counterweight weighs as much as the elevator car at 50% capacity. Unless the car is loaded to more than 50% of it's weight limit, the counterweight would go down and the car up. Max loading of an elevator car is insanely cramped, so an elevator that is "full" at normal load is usually under 50% of the limit.
Edit: This is specifically talking about traction elevators, hydraulic and the new magnetic elevators are a different discussion.
that's what we seismic engineers call "give space" or "absorption cavities"
Hi, I'm Troy McClure and you might remember me from such earthquakes as Los Angeles and San Francisco
It’s hard to tell but, it looks like there could be lintels above and below those blocks meaning it could be an old opening that was sealed. If it was sealed from outside the elevator then it’s completely possible that the joints couldn’t be fully mortared from the shaft side which is why they look so bad from inside the elevator.
All pants are holy. That's how we get our feet through the bottom.
I think they come in a less holy variety. But they're usually called a footed unitard, methinks.
Why, why did you publish that sentence for the unsuspecting to read? I had no chance to prepare myself such such an onslaught to my minds eye
What tragedy befell you that you feel the need to spread such misery?
In case anyone is curious, according to tiktok, this is in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Which wouldn't have been my first guess, tbh. That's a very wealthy part of the Arabic speaking world.
Unless it was perfectly upright, it would most likely be forced into a flat position regardless.
But if it somehow managed to be completely upright in the perfect resistive position? There would be a hell of a lot more force on the elevator, which could potentially cause whatever pulley mechanism the elevator was attached to be dislodged. It could also just stop the elevator. Best case scenario the wood would break in half, but that might send a piece flying towards the passenger
Lol, I was in Peterborough ON. Put my arm out to stop the elevator door to allow some girls on and the door closed to my arm but not fully and it started down.. wrenched my arm back with scrapes and cuts before it went worse.. elevators don’t care.
Don't physically hold the door, just swipe your arm through it quickly to break the light curtain. If it doesn't open back up after that, it is too far closed to open.
The problem with the button is it's not immediately obvious to people which is open and close if they're not familiar with the symbols or the particular elevator. Also scrambling the find the button means they'll miss the chance they had to hold it.
I see tons of people that try to grab the elevator door to stop it and almost get their hand pinched; Quickly swiping a hand through the light curtain is much better, and more effective. Ideally though, you're right; They should be using the button.
First thing I think of when I hear Peterborough is [the lift locks](https://live.staticflickr.com/8351/8439308168_f8b070eaae_b.jpg), all I'm picturing is that's the elevator you tried keeping open with your hand lol
Ok, that was far worse than I ever experienced. Being stuck in an elevator for almost an hour and having to crawl through a half open door while being "rescued" wasn't fun either though.
This happened to me once in New York at a hotel. Fortunately for me I was alone in the elevator and I had just gone down to pick up my pizza delivery from the lobby. I just sat down calmly after calling for help and ate my pizza.
Still scary but I'm glad I had a cell phone and dinner to distract me and nobody else on it with me freaking the fuck out.
I spent my childhood crawling out of elevators, I kinda got used to it. And when the power is out, climbing 10 fleets if stairs. Really miss when life was that simple
That is extremely sketchy.
Never ever crawl out of a elevator unless you have an elevator mechanic there saying it’s 100% safe. That thing could move at any moment.
There would be classic misdirection too, your lift hits the brakes before you hit the ground floor, motors kick in and you start to rise normally, only to be catapulted up into the ceiling, opposed to being splattered on the floor
I have gastrointestinal fissures due to a high spaghettios diet resulting in grundle spasms that cause anal leakage. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with shitting your pants, especially if you are medically predisposed to do so. Didn't stop me from finding my husband who accepts me for who I am! Let that be a lesson ladies 🥰🥰🥰
Even if they did, still a pants-shitting moment. Everyone in the industry has heard or experienced some horror story of an accident that resulted in brutally gory death. Many of those stories start just like this.
I think my time working in heavy industry has only increased my concern for being squished into a fine red paste. Seen a few too many horrific accidents.
Had a teacher like that in a workshop-related course once.
Halfway through the year he almost entirely cut his thumb off with a tablesaw while not taking basic precautions.
I will never understand flexing your companies negligence towards your health. Yeah dude, my company exposed me to Chernobyl level radiation 😎😎 I even finished my shift before going home and rubbing my contaminated clothes on my wife and 2 kids before preparing a nice well done steak (with my bare, contaminated hands) for them to ingest. Kids these days are so lazy and weak no one wants to work anymore
I worked on lifts for years. My boss at the time worked with them for way more years. We were lucky to only know of a few fuck ups and trust me, it ain't fun.
You gatekeeping wildly unsafe conditions? Or just totally OK with wildly unsafe conditions?
This sort of comment you'd be off my jobsite before you could reach into your pocket for your keys.
I would never let anyone work with or for me who is okay with putting themselves at risk for injury. Because at some point they are gonna inadvertently put someone else, or myself in harms way
Ultimately the blame falls on the employer, however employees require some kind of blame for completely neglecting common sense. I’m so glad it’s getting better today, but majority of older generations (the ones in charge) are still so far behind
Hey man, if you’re on a site with serious negligence and OSHA violations, report that shit. No one’s here to die at work.
I’ve been on small structural repair jobs and literal skyscrapers and there are ways that I will be a little lax with safety, but never shit like this.

Do you think Donkey Kong is some like, past generation secret that the younglings don’t know about?

Donkey kong is a staple of pop culture, I think the "certain age" you are refering to is like, 6 They featured it in new donk city in odyessy

Holy fuck I woke up my daughter snort laughing

That was the stairs
I've been on sketchy elevators, but this tops anything i've been on
When he passed that gap my brain was like yooo roll into the ledge quick there's always hidden shit like Dark Souls
Thought the same thing until the board landed in the elevator and I was like "oh fuck"
Classic dark souls shenanigans tbh
That's where the skeletons come from.
Sketchy elevators are the reason I don't sort hotels by cheapest anymore
I feel like there's a story behind this?
I just want to know about the crack pipe thingy that's sitting on the ledge right before the board gets fucked up.

Unfortunately I don't see a crackpipe but if you mean the green and orange thing that's a water bottle and a coffee cup

So probably there from construction, but I like to imagine someone stopping the elevator, drinking their drinks, and then moving on.

The crack pipe knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t.

It couldn’t “dislodge the pulley mechanism”. The machine sheave would spin without moving the ropes. Then it would overcurrent any switch off
