"Scared me to death!" At 00:30 on May 27, in a small area of Shengli Road in Liuzhou City, when Ms. Wei took the elevator home, she encountered a sudden and rapid drop in the elevator, and after stopping, she couldn't stop shaking up and down, scaring her soul away...
It turned out that Ms. Wei lived on the 22nd floor of a certain building, and she had just returned to the community from outside and was taking the elevator home. When the elevator went up to the 12th floor, it suddenly failed, and the display did not show the floor, only two red bars, and fell down quickly. Although Ms. Wei was frightened, she still remembered the elevator-related self-help methods she had seen at the emergency moment, quickly pressed all the buttons on the floor below the 12th floor, and pressed the alarm button to shout for help. Soon, she felt the elevator stop, and before she could react, the elevator continued to shake up and down.
Ms. Wei's heart almost collapsed, and she immediately took out her mobile phone and cried and called the police for help. While waiting for the arrival of the police, she cried while pressing the alarm button in the elevator for help, and kept pressing the door key. A few minutes later, the elevator door suddenly opened and she found herself on the negative first floor. After stepping out of the elevator, Ms. Wei was already paralyzed and her legs were weak. Coincidentally, at this time, the police of the Victory Police Station of the Liubei Patrol Brigade arrived and rushed to help her to a stone bench on the side to rest.
The elevator maintenance personnel then rushed to the scene, and after inspection, it was suspected that there was a problem with the elevator belt, and the detailed reason had to be determined by system maintenance. "Comrade police, I am relieved that you have come, it was really terrible just now!" "Don't be afraid, we're here 24 hours a day!" The police at the scene kept quietly comforting Ms. Wei and asked her if she was injured.
Ms. Wei said her foot was somewhat sprained and frightened. According to her, the elevator failure of the building was only stuck in the same place, this time, there was a rapid decline, and then bumps up and down, which was really scary. The police contacted the property and related units, urging them to arrange relevant inspections and maintenance for the elevator as soon as possible to avoid similar situations from happening again as much as possible. Before leaving, Ms. Wei thanked the police for their help.
How to save myself when I am trapped in an elevator? If you are suddenly trapped in the elevator, you should use the telephone, alarm bell, walkie-talkie, mobile phone and other equipment in the elevator to call for help, and avoid pulling the elevator equipment yourself. If you can't contact the outside world, you can clap the door and shout, or take off your shoes and knock on the door, send a signal for help. If no one responds, do not kick the door frequently and keep your strength waiting for rescue. If you encounter an elevator falling or rushing to the top, quickly press all the keys on all floors. When the emergency power is activated, the elevator can stop continuing to fall. If there is a handle in the elevator, one hand grasps the handle, so that the position of the person can be fixed, so that the person will not fall due to unstable center of gravity. When the elevator falls, the entire back and head are pressed against the inner wall of the elevator in a straight line, and the knee bend can withstand greater heavy pressure.
