How the frick does that even mechanically occur?
I'm really impressed at the situational awareness of the first two groups in the video -- they got out safely at the right time, and GTFO the way. Third group? Not so much.

I guess there's no emergency stop button anywhere?
It used to be part of the Soviet Union so emergency stop button pushes you.

quote:Yeah, when all the safeties break and the lift starts running backward, that's a legit time (probably the ONLY legit time) to jump, as quick as you can in the safest place you can see.
Man I hope everyone was ok. That got serious quick.
It's happened a few times in the US:
This one they got the line stopped before it got up to ludicrous speed: Sugarloaf
And here's a rollback test on a lift that was being demolished anyway:

There's actually 23 minutes of that testing video - this is just the most entertaining clip. Note the concrete being used to simulate people on the chairs, and the moment the workers realize they're too close to the action.
