Many of us would have commonly used elevators. Many times it may have happened that the lights went out and you got stuck in a lift. At such times one suddenly feels scared. But if you imagine that instead of going down, an elevator starts going up and runs at the speed of a rocket and hits the ceiling, then what will happen? This is such a thing which creates fear in the heart. Same thing happened in Noida Sector-137 of Uttar Pradesh. Here, the lift of Tower-5 of Paras Tierra Society suddenly broke down on the fourth floor and then due to brake failure, instead of going down, the lift went up at speed and collided with the roof.
There must be many of us who use elevators almost daily. But if ever something goes wrong with the lift, what are the things that should be taken special care of?

Don’t worry- Getting stuck in a lift can cause panic. Depending on the number of people in the elevator, if everyone starts breathing heavily in panic, the discomfort will increase. Try your best to remain calm and try to keep other people present in the lift calm as well.
Ring the alarm- Press the alarm button in the elevator and wait for someone to respond. Some buttons have the image of an alarm bell, while others have the photo of a phone. Someone who can handle the situation should answer and also try to give further instructions.

After contacting the elevator or alarm company, stay in the back of the elevator and stand facing forward. So that when the elevator company or emergency services try to open the door, they have a clear way to get inside.
Shouldn’t jump- When a lift breaks down, some people start jumping up and down in panic and many people also think that doing so will give the lift a jumpstart to start running again. But this can affect the stabilizer system of the lift and it can be more difficult to save.
Do not try to open the door- When you’re stuck in an elevator, it’s natural that you become eager to open the door. If the lift starts running while the doors are open, then there is a risk of people falling from the lift and they have to face danger. Therefore, never try to open the lift door yourself.
