Quote
A 30-year-old man named Sam Waisbren was killed in an elevator accident in a luxury Manhattan high-rise on Thursday morning.

At around 8:30 a.m., Waisbren was exiting the elevator into the lobby of the building, located in the Kips Bay neighborhood on the East Side of Manhattan, when the elevator malfunctioned.

The elevator left him trapped between the elevator car and a wall within the elevator shaft. He was pronounced dead at the scene on Third Avenue and East 25th Street.

The 23-story building, called the Manhattan Promenade, had recently been fined nearly $1,300 because of unsafe elevator conditions, The New York Times reported.

Inspectors reportedly "found that a safety feature on one of the elevators had been disabled or tampered with," and the building was ordered to stop using that particular elevator until the problem had been fixed, but it wasn't immediately clear whether this was that flawed elevator.

Terrible story.

You never know. You never know.

If he saw the elevator was slowly going down... why did he try to get out? You stay in the elevator and ride it down, ring the bell and wait for the fire department to come and get you.

I bet they're going to fix the issue now.

Easier said than done. Not everyone is as sharp as getbiggers and make the correct decision in every circumstance.

People misjudge, assume wrong, miscalculate opportunities, which can lead to a wrong decision. Happens probably billions of times in every day life, except for getbiggers, of course.

Do y’all remember when that group of people car accelerator got stuck and they called onstar freaking out about what to do? They eventually crashed killing everybody, and the whole time I’m thinking “why not shut the car off or throw it in neutral?”  People just aren’t that bright sometimes.

Which is a good thing. It would be ghoulish to see the whole event. I would like to know the actual mechanics of what happened. How does a grown man slip through the tiny space between the elevator and the floor platforms? I actually watch it a couple of times and it still isn't clear to me how it happened.

More like people are not that bright in anxiety arousing situations.

Too much anxiety can lead to disorganization and chaos. Too little anxiety can lead to apathy and not being motivatedz

If you watch in slow motion you can see that the first guy gets out as the overhead piece is already coming down. The guy behind him seemingly tries to squat down and get out before it closes. Like someone trying to beat the train across the tracks.

Thanks. I didn't consider how revealing slow motion would be in this situation. What it appeared like to me is that he was pushed back into the cab, but before his whole body was in the cab, parts of it were crushed between the ceiling of the cab and the adjacent lobby floor. One thing for sure is that I am glad I did not witness this firsthand. It would have become an indelible memory.

Apologies to anyone who couldn't see the posted pics. :-[

I used to upload all pictures to TinyPic, but they just shut down their site.

I uploaded some recent pics to Imgur, but they don't seem to be showing up here.

For some reason, I don't think you can link pictures from Imgur to GetBig Forum threads. ???

must of fiddled with the roller guides and a minor tweak could impact when the doors opened.  Weight doesnt seem like an issue...


Never stand inbetween the door if it opens. Stay at the back and you will be safe. The car may go down and eventually grab the brake and activate safeties. but never attempt to exit.

Could all be wear and tear in the brake pads and they just gave out. The car is running normally, so I will say it opened when it shoukdnt of happened due to negligence on maintenance
I work on these for a living.

Thanks man.
Typically when the hall doors open the car should never move unless they ate jumped at the are controller
 The slow downs activated when they should of so my guess is maintenance and negligence is the  issue.


Theres a reason why they require on going maintenance

I hate elevators. Always have. Would always take the stairs unless I was going 6 floors or higher. Knock on wood, I've never been trapped in an elevator before but I know people who have. In a crowded elevator at that. Can't imagine being crammed in a stuck elevator. People start getting sweaty, you start to smell their stink and their panic.

No thanks.
