5-Year-Old Girl’s Arm Gets Caught in Elevator 

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets stuck in the elevator again.

Chinese elevator

yah it's too wide

That was a very clever idea.

It was probably sunblock since they were going to the pool

@@annearly3200 which is quite literally LOTION🙄 like why even type that

@@laladeity2196 Well I mean, it's good info to know. Wish they told us the specific SPF though so we know what type of sunblock works best to wiggle free from elevator doors!

Actually pretty basic. Not clever at all

I mean, to be fair, that feels like a freak accident. By that logic, doors, escalators, even drawers have the potential of entrapping.

TBH, there were a couple things concerning about this... the Gap of the door is one but to me which is probably an even more concerning is the SPEED at which the door opens... I've never seen an elevator door open so quick like that. That should be looked into in general.

Elevators should not have a gap there large enough for a whole hand to fit though

@@Teknomanslade2Yeah, something isn't right about the elevator. It was installed wrong or over time it wasn't checked.

Never say that. It will make things worse. It's an accident because that's what it is.

Right? I’ve never seen an elevator door open that fast.

I've read some comments and people said an inspector looked at it and said it was not up to date.

I agree it did open fast

I would also be terrified, I hope she's ok too.

Parents should pay attention to

@@edg5670 Of course the parents should pay attention too, but sometimes things happen too fast.

@@edg5670Ok parent of the year.

Terrified until you realize youre ok. Then you have a cool story.

They should be mad at the design allowing for such parts to be incorrectly installed. If they have the correct profile, a big gap wouldn't be possible!

Right, couldn't be the parents who didn't tell the kids to stand back and keep their hands off the moving door.🤦‍♀

"Let's have this huge gap for no reason!" "Uh, okay."

It’s probably grandfathered in. Meaning an old one.

What was installed incorrect? Enlighten us with your knowledge of engineering

lol

lol here before this goes viral

😂😂😂

Lol

Or even if you slip on some hand lotion that someone spilled on the elevator floor

It’s the kids fault

@@edg5670 lol

@@edg5670Yeah, but she’s literally 5 years old. There’s no way she could’ve thought about the consequences of putting her hand on the elevator door. If anything, it’s the parents fault. They should be watching the kids because they’re supposed to know how to take care of them. The liability falls on the parents’ carelessness.

@@edg5670 if it happens, it can happen again

Why would they sue the elevator company when it was actually the mom’s fault? People these days, I swear…always tryna get money😂

The thing is the door wasn't closing it was opening, but I get what your saying in regards to safety.

They do not. Unless it's super expensive.

At most, it's supposed to keep you from pinching your skin, not ripping off your arm.

This also implies for the doors on trains, subways, and buses.

I have never in my 69 years heard a recording in an elevator say that. I have heard it say "going up" or"going down".

Not really

@@edg5670She almost got her hand ripped off. I'm sure you'd be terrified in that situation as well.

Saying "Oh My G__" is using His name in vain, and basically using it as if it were a curse word to proclaim disgust...... it's Blasphemy..

@@milleniomc983 its not, okaý

Elevators can only close after they open...

And never lean on an elevator door, cause it can easily open between floors.

@@vilemes Exactly.

That's always been my rule too. Once you get in, you stand away from the doors.

@jenniferhansen3622 door safety and also other people may want on?

dont have more kids than you can keep an eye on

@@SW-vu5zh Yes, I agree that's why I've always kept my kids away from the doors.

My parents told when i was a kid to stand away from moving things like doors....

Putting it on the list of a million things to tell our kids. It's getting really hard to remember and enforce all of these rules on a daily basis.

Oh wow. Pile that up on the 1000 things we should do. In which part do we just chill and be parents.

Yes because getting your hand stuck in an elevator is a common normal occurrence and we should obviously expect the doors to deprive everyone of their safety 🥰

i am sorry for the kid and glad she is oke, but suing the elevator company for the stupidity from your kid?

Please, its an elevator. No one would expect something like this in a million years

Small children?

kids

Do you not know a single child?

Better question, is what kind of parent allows their kid to lean on doors?

Same with trains and buses

This one was opening, but you’re right, same principle applies👍✅💯

Because it couldn’t POSSIBLY be the parents’ fault, for failing to instruct her child about the dangers of placing her hands on moving mechanical parts, or for failing to supervise the rambunctious little girl while she was getting into the machine. Right? Right?

@@BurntRaisinToast Yep was very negligent, but also the Size of the gap did not meet regulation!

They look like the litigious type to be honest. Perfect opportunity to get some money when it's totally their fault.

@@BurntRaisinToastdidn’t you hear the expert speak? He said the gap is supposed to be smaller than what it was on elevators so if it’s not up to code they should sue

The elevator isn’t up to code, the people in the video say that but I guess listening wasn’t something your parents taught you.

Don't always count on that. In the end, parents can't control everything. Hence why it's called an accident.

they said that the elevator door is not up to code, this was an accident waiting to happen. you don’t have to blame women for everything.

Yeah the sueing was unnecessary so I blame the mother for not keeping an eye on her child 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah my parents would always make us stand at the back of the elevator when we all got on. You can't prevent everything as a parent but you have to also think a couple steps ahead to avoid catastrophe.

I don’t have kids but “always”? Use logic

I was thinking the same thing.

But what if that didn't work and it started going up or down once closed. Too risky imo.

“But what if the elevator went up or down once closed” the fact 8 people liked your comment… fully unable to grasp that if the door is closed… her arm isn’t stuck… it’s it being opened that’s got it stuck. There is no risk in OPS suggestion. The risk was to not try that and just yank on her.

​@@leahnicole155 you can't be sure of that, tho', not 100%. Lots of things could've gone wrong and what if there was any other factor involved that made it so her arm wasn't freed after the doors closed and the elevator started moving again? Much better to keep the situation stable than to risk having to deal with other complications.

Elevator close buttons don't do anything in the majority of elevators, look it up, they're fake.

no she died 😭

Dead: internal bleeding and collapsed lung

​@@realnarwhalwow

Yes, she's okay.

@@realnarwhal watch the video before telling lies

Or stay away from the door lol

That's a great idea! I recently slipped down the stairs and now my butt hurts. Time to sue!!!

bro i dont think your supposed to slip through stairs that could possibly kill you if the stair company somehow Manges to do that im suing them too

@@-TonyK yeah, and i don’t think you’re supposed to get your hand caught in an elevator somehow 😭

😂

I mean if it wasn't up to code, like if stair height were all different then yeah you should sue. This is a similar case

Exactly!

@@TayTay-od7ks She must’ve been checking her X or instagram likes. 😂

@princegroove She must've been doing something. My mom taught at the age of 2 to not rest against any doors.

May the world be as kind to you, as this comment is to them, when your worst moments happen and as you parent 😘

I know it is easier to judge when it isn't you, but... this situation doesn't even warrant that. An elevator should not have that big a gap. If someone falls or faints, it is not their fault.

the door likely needs to fully open before it responds to further input.

Have you ever pushed the close button on the elevator while someone is between the door, it doesn't close right? Not that hard to realize that elevators have sensors that prevent the elevator from closing if someone is in between

Well the door was stuck halfway …. And usually the door has to fully open in order for that button to work

They couldn't. The girl's arm was stuck between the door, so the elevator door was stuck immediate after her arm was trapped

@paulo0651 She wasn’t standing where the door could hit her. She was standing *beside* it. I dont think she would have stopped it from closing.

Did u not see the whole video the elevator was not up to code

@@littlebigkicker whether it was up to code or not, the mother was supposed to keep a watchful eye on her child until exiting the elevator. This is a simple case of child neglect, and they should turn around and sue the mother for child neglect!! If you look closely at the video, all the kids were playing around, jumping up and down and pressing the buttons all while the parents did absolutely nothing to stop them!! Good luck with that law suit!!

@@jamesgeorge5276 lolz OK still it was the company's fault though

@@littlebigkickerits the mother fault

Kids were in there touching everything.

That’s unrealistic but go off!

No way you could predict that. Poor elevator design/installation.

Bro paying attention wouldn’t have done anything in this situation. The elevator wasn’t up to code. She wasn’t doing anything the rest of us haven’t done before.

exactly

I never rested my hands on elevator doors, because my parents told me I would loose my fingers or toes, and was told to stand back. It's called parenting. None of the adults were concerned & forgot about safety, keeping clear of doors. Children's minds wonder, so safety is always on the parents watch out for to avoid situations like this. Glad her hand will recover.

Ridiculous. Why should they sue anybody for their own stupidity, negligence, & failure to properly supervise that child? Who allows their children to place their hands & limbs on moving mechanical parts of transportation equipment? What if that child stuck her fingers in between the steps of a moving escalator, or jammed her hand in a slamming car door - would you think the companies that manufactured those people-moving devices should be sued for the parents’ negligence in those instances as well? This mother is trying to push her failure onto someone else - ironically, further compounding her failure. Her children deserve pity, but not for the physical injuries she allows them to endure.

So escalators have a code that it has comply with. So that is a kid put its hand down it wouldn’t eat the whole hand or fingers. A car door is controlled by a person so you assume the risk and have human controlling it. This was an accident that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. It’s negligent. The door should have some kind of safety on it. This is something that should be seen as a risk. This is not just about money. This little girl has been disfigured. The parents had to pay the hospital bills co pays. For something that shouldn’t have happened. If it was to be installed to the codes to prevent this.

Oh, and sue the carpet company while you’re at it because it was the flooring inside the elevator. suing the building is a dumbass idea.

@@SprNgSt0rm-hi5sz you win youtube 🤡 of the month.

@@SprNgSt0rm-hi5sz Whoever installed the elevator is the target of any lawsuit. That's why contractors carry insurance. If something they build injures someone, then insurance covers the lawsuit and their premiums increase.

If you can prove it wasnt up to standards when you bought it.

The difference is that it's more your fault than the furniture company's that you hit the table. There is also a difference in the amount of damage caused. People shouldn't bear the burden of refraining from touching elevator doors. Instead, elevator companies should ensure the safety of their doors, particularly since legal regulations assign responsibility to the installer or manufacturer and outline specific standards that must be adhered to.

@ceceprincess4758 I can tell

I agree with you. Keep your hands off and stand back! It's not the fault of the elevator company!

Exactly, elevator company should counter sue and get CPS to take her kid away

​@@jimbojones9118for what. CPS should be only needed for parents who beat on their children or don't care

they were. they reacted very fast to the incident

Impossible to do. When you're a parent and you have so many things to keep track of, a routine elevator ride is one thing that doesn't cross your mind.

@@Demonfireangel thats why its a lesson learned. from now on it will cross their mind

Which she was otherwise the door would have sheered the hand off.

Stop being dramatic

Wut

@edg5670 I'm a mother so instantly this made me feel a certain type of way. Any mother would. Mind yo business!! 💯

Yes my heart can't take stuff like that

Or... people could just do their job correctly...

@crystanick2697 or some parents need to do their jobs and teach their children basic safety precautions, i.e., never lean on doors. I guess parents (like yourself) lack the innate basic instinct to, at the very least, try to protect their children from harm. The mother watched as her daughter leaned on that door. The little girl's injury could have been prevented by her mother, as well.

@@bluebird7557 gen z parenting...

Because elevator doors shouldn’t suck your arm into the side. It’s probably because of elevator safety reasons

🙄🙄 Then the company should have put a warning sign on the elevator door to not touch it. Who was going to guess that's what happens when you touch a elevator door. Printing a sign would cost less that $30 each.

Still, you should NEVER leave your hands on an elevator door no matter how safe it is. It's one way to prevent something like this from happening again.

@@AbysmalGhost it wouldnt suck an adult arm. she has a tiny straw arm. its designed for adults to use and not your children to play on

@@BaDazai its common sense, why would you touch the elevator door while its opening

​@@awesomeguy9728I know, & just ever so tragic! 😢

​@@KevinTeeTroyTaylorJr IKR? D:

The first thing I tell my children step back and to the side u never know something dangerous could be on the other side.

Sued why? It’s the kids fault

​@@edg5670 Exactly

It's not really the elevator manufacturer's fault. The little girl's tiny hand got stuck in the small space between the door and the outside frame. It's a freak occurrence, however her hand ended up there we can't really see. It was a scary moment and I'm sure that kiddo will never play "will my hand fit" ever again. She learned an important lesson without being seriously hurt, which is all that matters. But there is no need to SUE anyone. Nobody is really at fault. Silly child made a boo boo and thankfully she's okay and you move on.

@keishab7522 this is so true

@@oscarvelocitymusic this is serious stop acting like it’s a joke

@@edg5670 how?

@@edg5670 Don't say that, and to be fair at least everyone tried to help the girl.

@@RealCaffeinated Right?

100 it's the parents fault, even if the elevator had a wider gap than usual. pay attention to your kids lol

what if she was falling and held on to the door for help? The gap is too big in the elevator door

You're not wrong, but it shouldn't be that easy to get maimed in an elevator. Something needs to be done and money talks, unfortunately.

At the end they explain how proper elevators should work

Agreed. And even if people want to place all the blame on the elevator company, the reality is these women were too busy chatting with each other to mind all those children.

First of all, the parents weren't expecting something like this to happen, I'm sure they have used an elevator many times before and clearly you wouldn't expect something like this to happen suddenly? The kids were right there next to them, so they relaxed for a bit, is that such a problem now? ​@@SVIIVII

The accident would never have happened if the elevator had been built to code, which automatically places liability on the building owner.

@@LadyRubyEyedid you ever hear the part where they mentioned how wide the gap actually was? Cause I didn’t

​@@slapshotjack9806Oh of course, since this 1 minute news story didn't mention the exact size of the gap, we should automatically blame the parents.

@@justincain2702 yes you need to be watchful of your kids it’s clearly a cash grab because parents these days don’t care enough. The new generation is gonna get screwed

​@@slapshotjack9806 the gap was indeed big you can look at the video by yourself and compare it with the lawyer's one. I wouldn't call it parents' fault too it was an accident waiting to happen the adults also rushed and put themselves in risk to save the kid no? Plus the elevator itself is not up to code.

They did but of course it will not close when detecting people in front of it.

I think it needed to open fully before closing. They were holding it open to prevent her arm going all the way in. Closing the door would work but first it would need to open completely. I could be wrong

@@angiesleeps3890 I think the door detected a jam and was programed to not move.

Have you ever pressed a close door button? They usually don't close the door. It certainly won't close the door when it's in the process of opening.

@@RayChiTown I have. It usually stops and goes the other way.

With my luck I'll never get hurt and never get a huge payout 😢

You're goddamn right. The only thing keeping companies from skimping out on safety, the government from violating people's rights, or people from being careless around others is the risk of a lawsuit.

Sure they wouldn't...

As a mother I'm 100% certain kids don't think about that stuff and will literally put their hands anywhere. That being said, it's my job to make sure my kids know where to put their hands.

@@invaderrach315 facts!!

someone was pushing the button, it wasn't working

it might go down

Elevators have sensors so it would not close bc it detected something was there

@@nayleah2908 was broken

@@foxyolk the sensor was not broken, it detected something was there and thats why it would not close, let alone there was something blocking it as well which was her arm/hand

What the mother and daughter did does not make it less of the companies fault. The elevator should not have that gap and it does

@@stefanib.4283 it could’ve been prevented if the mother just told her daughter. I feel like parents should teach their kids these things because you’ll never know when it’s useful to know this stuff like “don’t stick your hand in a elevator door or it could close it on your hand and you still get stuck”

@@Blarret1 I understand that, but on the chance that the mother turns away for a second or the child doesn't listen to the advice, there needs to be an up to code elevator so the child doesn't lose a hand. The mother should teach her child that, but its the companies fault for allowing what happened to be a possibility that might not even have crossed the mothers mind

So dramatic

She wasn't! She literally was waiting patiently and had her hand on the door as anyone would not realising it would quickly open and take her hand with it. Silly take. The elevator literally didn't meet safety codes. I hope that little girl gets a FAT check

@@deathclimaxine The kids were putting hands on the door while in motion. My parents taught me better.
