In modern cities, we can see high-rise buildings everywhere. People moving in high-rise buildings can only rely on elevators to get up and down. Elevators have become an indispensable means of transportation for people. However, do you think that these steel machines that provide convenience to people every day will sometimes bring people into an inconvenient situation. When the elevator suddenly breaks down in operation, what should we do?

On June 4, 2004, the elevator of a hospital in Guangzhou broke down, and three passengers were trapped. The elevator quickly slid to the first floor and shook

It moved for a while. Fortunately, the elevator didn't continue to fall, but got stuck between the first floor and the basement.

Three people are very nervous in this situation. After the accident, Ms. Shao was the first to press the emergency call button in the elevator car. Due to the old elevator, the alarm device did not work. At this time, the elevator was dark, and the two young people trapped in the elevator with Ms. Shao were more nervous. They knocked on the inner wall of the elevator and shouted desperately. It was lunchtime at that time, and the corridor was empty. No matter how they called for help, it was useless. After being nervous, Ms. Shao found that the elevator was ventilated. While comforting the two young people, she reminded them to call for help with their mobile phones. However, among the three people's mobile phones, only Ms. Shao's mobile phone still had a little signal. She broadcast and called 110, but the other party could not hear Ms. Shao's voice. In a hurry, Ms. Shao began to constantly call her relatives. Although the cell phone signal was very weak, she finally dialed her husband's phone, and Ms. Shao's husband immediately called the police. After the efforts of rescue workers, the elevator door was finally opened.

According to statistics, there are about 450000 elevators in use nationwide, and elevator entrapment incidents occur from time to time. There are many reasons for elevator sleepiness, which may be caused by power failure or other mechanical reasons. All reckless escape behaviors will endanger the lives of passengers before understanding the cause of the accident.

Trapped in the elevator, what should you do?

After the passengers are trapped, the best way is to press the emergency call button inside the elevator. This button will generally connect with the duty room or the monitoring center. What you need to do is to wait for rescue.

What should you do when the alarm fails?

1: You can call loudly or slap the car wall door.

2: Slapping the door with shoes is a little louder, mainly to give this signal of distress to the outside world.

3: In some big cities, it is linked with the 110 center. Calling 110 can also achieve the effect of calling for help.

In addition, if there is no one passing for the time being, the trapped passengers had better keep their strength and pat the door intermittently, especially when they hear a sound outside, so as to attract the attention of passers-by. Before the rescuers arrive, the trapped people should not keep calling for help. They should maintain their physical strength, calmly observe the movement, and patiently wait for rescue.

Pry the door? Window? Better wait

Since there is a nationally unified key to open the elevator, it is relatively easy for professionals to use the key to open the door of the car from the outside after the elevator has a trapped fault. Passengers trapped in the elevator hope to leave the faulty elevator as soon as possible, so some trapped passengers forcibly pry the door or open the skylight on the top of the car to escape. Is it safe to do this?

电梯在出现故障时，门的回路方面，会发生失灵的情况，这时，电梯可能会异常启动，如果强行扒门就很危险，也就是剪切，这种剪切很容易造成人身伤害。由于同样原因，被困乘客也被禁止自己从天窗爬出。但是在轿箱门暂时无法打开的情况下，必须由专业救援人员协助，断电停机后，被困人员才可以从天窗逃出。
坠落？窒息？无须惊恐
不少乘客害怕，发生故障的电梯可能会坠落，其实这样的担心是不必要的。电梯从设计方面是相当安全的，他的悬挂系统一般是三根或三根以上的钢丝绳，那么这个安全系数相当于12倍，比如从这个轿箱可以乘10个人它从设计方面乘120个人都没问题。
电梯还有一套防坠落系统，包括限速器，安全钳，以及底部的缓冲器。一旦发现电梯超速下降，限速器首先会让电梯驱动主机停止运转。如果主机仍然没有停止，限速器就会提升安全钳使之夹紧道轨，强制轿厢停滞在轨道上，另外在一定速度内如果直接撞击到缓冲器上，轿厢也会停下来。轿厢不管通过那种方式停下来，都不会对人造成很大的冲击。
在狭窄闷热的电梯里，许多乘客担心会受困后会窒息而死，那被困电梯到底会不会闷死人呢？新的电梯国家标准有严格的规定，要达到通风的效率，才能够投放市场，另外，电梯有很多活动的部件，比如说一些连接的位置，比如轿壁和轿顶和连接键，之间都有缝隙，这些缝隙一般来讲足够人的呼吸需要。
另外，我们在平时乘坐电梯时应该注意一些事项：
1、 乘客在乘梯时应该看清电梯轿厢是否在本层，不可盲目跨入，防止层门开着而轿厢不在本层以至造成跌入井道事故。
2、 乘客不要用身体去阻止电梯关门，或背靠安全触板。
3、 儿童乘坐电梯一定要有成人陪同。
4、 发生火灾和地震时，切勿乘坐电梯。
其实与遇到其它类型的危险一样，一旦被困电梯，咱们首先要做的就是提醒自己不要惊慌，冷静地寻找逃生出路。另外据我们了解，像北京等城市也已经有了专门的110电梯抢修应急网，担当电梯事故的急救任务。一旦出现电梯紧急事故，您可以及时拨打110报警电话求救。
