Shocking Lift Mishap: Trailing Rope Causes Disaster!
Lifts have become an integral part of our lives, especially for those residing in multi-storey buildings. While generally safe, lifts can turn into dangerous objects if not used properly. Accidents can happen in mere seconds, and negligence can lead to severe consequences.
In the video, a man is seen pulling out construction materials with a trailing rope. As the lift starts moving, the rope is caught, causing the attached objects to strike the man from behind. He is forcefully hit, falls into the lift shaft, and is gravely injured.

Common Lift Hazards
Many accidents occur when people attempt to open lift doors using unconventional methods, such as sticking hands, legs, or objects in the path of the doors to trigger sensors. This can prove fatal if the sensors fail to detect the object or body part in time, resulting in doors closing with something caught in between.
Trailing Wires and Ropes: A Deadly Risk
Another common hazard involves trailing wires, ropes, or other materials that get caught between lift doors. When the lift starts moving, these objects are pulled along with it, potentially dragging other items—or even people—attached to them.
Safety Measures for Lift Users
Lift users must exercise caution. Ensure that no wires, ropes, or clothing are caught in the doors, and never attempt to activate lift sensors with body parts or foreign objects. Tragedy can be avoided with simple precautions.
