Friends
Let me use this very sad incident to raise two points on our safety in big
cities. And may the family of this fellow find peace some how.
1} An elevator consists two doors, a door on the car that moves and a door
on the shaft that remains permanently on every floor, it is the door on the
shaft you see when you walk pass the elevator. When the car arrives on the
floor, both doors must open for you to enter and to get out. Due to a severe
malfunction, there are times when the shaft door opens by its self, so you
show up on the floor push the button to call for the car and before the car
shows up the shaft door can open, and when the door opens, many of us have a
tendency of simply walking into the elevator without making sure the car is
present. If the car did not show up you can easily walk into a hole to your
oblivion. Because you have pushed yourself inside, your sheer weight by
passes your ability to pull yourself back to the floor safety and trust me
you will drop dead if the building is tall as the very many we have in this
city. Solution. Whenever you call an elevator, make it a habit to look at
the ground of the elevator car and confirm its presence before you drop your
foot to the ground of the elevator. It is very simple but you have no idea
how many people die due to such a very avoidable accident.
2} Never ever swim in a swimming pool without testing the temperature of the
water, and the best way to test it is to soak your leg into it before you
swim. Walk to the swimming pool literally sit on the edge and drop your foot
into the water to check the temperature before you swim. Here is the
problem, there are swimming pools that have a controlled temperature, so
whether winter or summer the temperature is the same. That builds an
illusion that you know its temperature, drop that illusion out. The reason
we check the temperature is to actually prove the physical existence of
water in the pool. People especially kids show up on the pool especially in
the night and go on the board to take a dive in the deep end, and rotate
down off a board into a pool that was drained for cleaning up and the job
was not finished so the water was never pumped back in. You will drop your
head on an empty concrete and you will shatter yourself into pieces. It
sounds comical but if you had a long day you are tired, or you had a very
good day and you are exited or you had a girl with a thigh gap you have been
way sexed up and you need a swim before you go to bed, you can rant your way
up the board without caring to check if you have water physically in the
pond, and you will die faster than writing this posting.
These are very basic facts we need to educate ourselves and our children as
we survive in these concrete jungles. If you live in UK dont mind about
these advises for they own short buildings without elevators and they swim
in river ponds.
