What to do when you are trapped in a lift?

July 01, 2010 By: admin Category: Idea Box, Security

We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people around us.  What if you were trapped in a lift? See the real example below.

One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling from level 13 at a fast speed. Fortunately, I remembered watching a TV program that taught  one must quickly press all the buttons for all the levels.

Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level. When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions you make decides your survival.

First – Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift.
When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.

Second - Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).. It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance.

Third – Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.
Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.

Fourth – Bend your knees. Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue.  Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised during fall.

So never cry again if encounter any similar case of life trap :)
