What to do when you are trapped in a lift?
We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people around us.
Read on and hope this piece of information may help any of us when things do
happen to ourself, our friends and our loved ones.
One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling from level
13 in a fast speed.
Fortunately, I remembered watching a TV program that taught you must quickly
press all the buttons for all the levels.
Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level.
When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions
you make decides your survival.
If you are caught in a lift breakdown, first thought in
mind may be 'waiting to die'...
But after reading below, things will definitely be different the next time you
are caught in a lift.
First ��?Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift.
��?When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will
stop the lift from falling further.
Second ��?Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).
��?It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting
hurt when you lost your balance.
Third ��?Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.
��?Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine
as protection.
Fourth ��?Bend your knees
��?Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. It can be attached to the
bone part of the activities,
but limit the scope of their activities in order to avoid injury.
Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised from the severe
pressure during fall.
Reason ��?When the lift falls, you will not know when it will hit the ground,
and it may result in whole body bone fracture.
For everyone, do send out this piece of information to all!
