I would program elevators to say "Please keep clear of the door and do not take advantage of the safety sensors.

@perrymckinney6146 2 года назад

It was much nicer back when I rode that, there was no obnoxious tv screen with the loud sound, was just an elevator ride.

@tusselman159 14 лет назад

@blueauraretriever 6 лет назад

tusselman159 There's a OTIS lift (20 floors) Omni New Haven from the 1990s & when you go down you're PLUMMETING!!!!! literally! You're falling for 3 seconds when your going from floor M to floor L because there so far apart FRIRND!!!!!

@seltblade 12 лет назад

Does your feet leave the floor?

@richardpearson7775 9 лет назад

that woman should not have put her hand on the elevator doors. if the sensors were not working she would have lost a hand. you keep your hands free from the doors when riding elevators. the woman needs to watch herself. holding to the door preventing the elevator from leaving is a very foolish thing to do. if it were'nt for the sensors in the door there would possibly have been an accident. From elevator enthusiast Richard. ps very good exxxciting video.

@calvindejong4566 9 лет назад

the guy making the vid pressed the door open button. Yes, it was foolish.

@duhkjhwifyyhed 6 лет назад

This is a really illiterate comment. Lifts don't move when doors are opened. When the doors open, the safety circuit is cut, and the brakes will not release as long as it is cut. If you someone managed to open the doors midway, the lift will stop immediately because of cut safety circuit. Really this will not happen even if the lift has no beam sensors or bumpers. They only move when doors are closed and safety is connected (unless the lift engineer was an idiot and wrongly setup the lift)

@geneseetrainselevators2448 5 лет назад

Richard Pearson you do not know what you are talking about. She might have been trying to hold the doors open or she might have been trying to direct people into the elevator. Think before u post.

@aperkins07 13 лет назад

Those things are scary. You get stuck anywhere in between 99 and ground, good luck to you!

@Solowizard 15 лет назад

musicfreakcc, The Schindler High-Speed Elevators ?" The last time I checked, Shindler is the company that service the elevators in the Sears Tower. They don't make, or own the elevators. When their contract expires, other companies will bid to take over service needs of the Sears Tower Elevators.

I wonder if the elevators have nudge mode.

@kenconnelly773 6 лет назад

I would think, but it can be set to activate after ten seconds, or several minutes. At a building like this, I'm guessing it would be set to a long time before the elevator would go into nudging.

@Arxiuz2 15 лет назад

103->99->90->80->70 HOLY FREAK!

@ZRHTrainspotter 6 лет назад

DoggosarenotPuppers thats true

@Bostonharborwater 13 лет назад

people say,, STUID GUY holding the door,, how bout the guy who pushes the button fifty times,,, the guy holding the door, has a job to make sure he makes the elevator as full as possible, so that the next ride down dosent have to many people waiting that they fight to get in it

@spuddapotato2494 13 лет назад

@richardpearson7775 11 лет назад

That woman should not put her hand in the way of the elevator doors, holding it up. If the elevator doors did not have an electric eye she would have properly lost her arm

Saves money on the electric bill if more people are using the elevator at any one point.

@frumperino 11 лет назад

I hope employees working the observation deck have some special key they can use to shut that goddam recorded sound off so they don't have to suffer through it every day. Who decided a thing like that was necessary?
