Head to Wendover my friend because you are one lucky guy!
Now that I have read the article will someone please explain to me how the "elevator drop" injured the man if he was hit in the face by the broken rods.
What a misleading headline. Come on D-News you can do better than that.
I agree commoner. D-News should do better. After 25 years in the elevator industry, I am quite sure the elevator never "dropped" or "fell" 9 stories. If it had dropped 2 floors and been stopped by the safety devices it would not have been able to move again until a technician reset the devices. Also they would be trapped in the car until the tech got there and checked it out before resetting it. And no way would it "fall" all the way to the second floor without tripping the safety brakes much sooner.
It sounds to me like someone was moving something larger than the cab height,opened escape hatch, not being qaulifed ELEVATOR MEN and ran up to the top floor & ran into the overhead ? Just my 20 years worth.
