5 Tricks To Survive In A Free Falling Elevator

It is possible to survive in a free-falling elevator, and this is how. If you’ve seen the movie Tower of Terror as a child, chances are at some point in your life you’ve had an irrational fear of an elevator breaking and free falling. The thought of falling is scary enough, but something about the thought of free-falling to the unknown while trapped in an elevator seems terrifying.

Summary:
1. Don’t Jump: There is a pretty common myth that the thing to do in a free-falling elevator is to jump moments before you land in an attempt to decrease the impact. While this technically could work, you would have to have absolutely impeccable timing, as well as being able to jump at exactly the same speed that the elevator is falling.

2. Don’t Stand Straight: Standing up straight is also not the best option if you are trapped in a moving elevator. Some people may try to maintain a standing position in order to avoid injury but doing this will actually have the opposite effect. Since you are about to experience the impact of a crushing weight, standing could cause serious injury to your legs and spine.

3. Sitting: Some people’s natural response in a falling elevator might be to sit down. However, if the lift is full of people, this might not actually be the best option to go with.
Although your total load while sitting is less than if you were standing, this position will also cause injury to your spine.

4. Bending Legs: You may be under the assumption that bending your legs or bracing yourself could help protect you from impact. However, this is actually not the case. Because of the amount of G-force that will be pushing down on your body, you won’t even be able to support the weight of your body doing this.

5. Lay Down: The best way to brace yourself during an elevator fall is to lie down flat on the ground if you are on your own. This will properly distribute your body weight and will ensure that no particular body part is subject to the highest amount of impact.
