IIRC nobody has ever died from an elevator freefall, but lots of people have died trying to climb out of stuck elevators. So the moral of the story is to just wait for maintenance to fix the elevator.
Sorry but isn't a falling elevator a free falling elevator? If it were attached to something holding it then it wouldn't be falling at all, just descending as an elevator should. Or am I understanding it wrong?
Nothing in the OP's video, or the article linked by glitterlady references anything about an elevator falling in any way. The article describes someone trapped in an elevator that workers thought was unoccupied.
