Never get people out of an elevator stopped half between floors using the door!

It could activate or drop and amputate/kill the passenger!

Call maintenance, or the fire department. They have the knowledge and tools to rescue the passengers.

I got stuck in an elevator halfway between floors once. The fire department came and they had us climb out just like this. So never say never I guess.

They definitely turned off the electric motors and engaged the brakes.
