Wow, that's pretty messed up. I'd imagine nightmares would follow for months after that. I'm it wasn't just the visual aspect of it but also the smell of blood filling the tiny space made her nauseous.
 
I wonder if he had a watch on or something. Not being able to tell the time would be awful.

Found an excellent article about the guy and, well, elevators in general. According to it, he didn't have a watch. He only had some analgesics and some cigarettes on him.

Daniel Tosh from Tosh.0 featured his video and reconnected with the guy after 11 years:

...... Even in a film that would be ****ed up, couldn't imagine seeing it.
 
Neither.

I kinda remember the head story. Used to live in Houston. I think there was an arm incident once as well.

For the other video, it's kinda funny how he tries to go up through the ceiling, like in every movie involving elevators ever.

Oh, you mean to tell me you can't really do that? I are dissapoint.

Also sneaking through airvents...
 
God thats a disturbing story, I cant imagine being the person in there... D:
 
Gguuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Never going into an elevator again.
 
I'm glad she isn't claustrophobic or she could have lost her head in there.
 
good thing she didnt lose her head

She should totally give me he-

Aahhh, I honestly can't make a pun. shit sucks.

You can do that, but they lock the hatch from the outside. Supposedly because its they want rescue crews to open it and get you, rather than having you try and escape on your own.
 
Most of the time when I'm walking in/out of the elevator, as I'm one leg in and the other one outside, a thought goes through my mind "it would suck if the elevator fell at this moment".
 
One time me and four friends went up in an elevator that was in a building being demolished. A Quarter of the building was torn down, and when we got to the floor we wanted we could have literally just jumped outside because there were no walls or floor for a huge area, just broken wood planks, twisted metal and misc debris. But apparently there were still office workers inside doing their work, and they were people we were looking for.

When we left we decided to take the stairs. Partly because a huge section of the building was broken, and partly because that was a shoddy as **** elevator to begin with. We debated for like 5 minutes before getting on it the first time, and it was scary as **** going up it because it was not a smooth ride at all. Fun times.
 
Someone should've gave them a heads up that the elevator was out of order.
 
Good thing she didn't lose her mind otherwise she might not have made it out.
 
Well with faulty wiring like that they were heading for disaster.
 
That's not funny, Raz. A story like this is no place for jokes. I can't believe you could be so disrespectful.

I always think that, another one is falling and landing on my face, that shit freaks me out. Or tripping on the stairs and my teeth hitting the edge of the step.
 
Heading down?

I want to watch the full 41 hours in real-time. It could be like a new reality TV show with dramatic 1 hour episodes.
 
Man, I know my state of mind would really plummet if that I saw something like that
 
That's quite f*cking terrifying.

EDIT: Was there something similar in one of those retarded gore movies? Final Destination or something? This seems really, really familiar, like I've seen it before.
 
I was stuck in an elevator at school for a good 3-4 hrs when one malfunctioned. it was during Freshman Orientation too, which really sucked and probably one of my main causes why I hated college so much. I kept pounding and yelling and they had to wake up the janitor out of bed to come down to try and fix the damn thing. i always take stairs if I can now. stairs are reliable, and same shit, i think all escalators in America should be stairs instead.
 
^Reminds me of a story that during one of the college orientations at my previous school, a bunch of really stupid girls decided they'd try to cram as many of themselves into the dorm elevator at once. Apparently they exceeded the weight limit or something because it got stuck.

And I presume in your last sentence you meant elevators instead of escalators? Because escalators are pretty awesome. Like moving walkways except more useful. Although now that we're on the subject, there was also a news story about somebody whose toes got cut off when they got to the end of an escalator. Or maybe that was just a lie that my mom told me, because now that I think about it, it sounds really unlikely.

[edit] Ok nevermind I just googled "escalator toes." The danger is real D:

[edit2] oh wait I see that you did mean escalators. I can't read.

Escalators are cool, but I think America should shut them down. theres no need for us to keep looking at 300 lb overweight women and gross flab like that.

There are the stories of escalators coming off their mountings, however it is they are and all that tremendous weight sliding down and crushing/injuring people on/near them.
 
I told you guys about the time when some fairly attractive lady had her dress ripped off by an escalator while I was working at Sears right? That was awesome.
 
The thought of clothing being trapped in mechanical stuff always sends shivers up my spine.

One of my uncles was killed that way at the age of 16 or 17 :(
 
:( Don't wear wedding rings when working with machinery because it can caught and take off a finger.

yeah I need to stop thinking about this
 
A kid at my school (years ago) got his finger cut off in Woodwork class. He dropped his piece of wood while waiting in line to use a saw, lunged to catch it & got his finger severed by the saw.
Oddly it seems his family are destined to have horrific accidents like that, that very same year his sister got her face torn off because her hair got caught in a milking machine & kept pulling until her skin came too (don't know how that happened specifically though).
