*What to do when you are trapped in a lift ???  * 

We never know when and where accidents will happen to us or to people 
around us. Read on and I hope this piece of information may help many 
of us when things do happen to you, your friends and your loved ones. 
This happened to a friend. 

"One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it began falling 
from level 13 at a fast speed. Fortunately, I remembered having 
watched a TV program that taught that you must quickly press all the 
buttons for all the levels.  Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th 
level." 

Important things to remember. 

When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or 
actions you make decides on your survival.  If you are caught in a 
lift breakdown, first thought that comes to mind may be 'just wait to 
die'... 
But after reading below, things will definitely be different the next time 
– should you get caught in a lift. 

1. - Quickly press all the buttons for all the different levels of the 
lift. When the emergency electricity supply is activated, it will stop 
the lift from falling further. 

2.  - Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).... It is to support 
your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt should you 
lose your balance. 

3.  - Lean your back and head against the lift wall keeping your back 
in a straight line. Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support 
for your back/spine as protection. 

4. - Bend your knees - Your ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. 
Thus, the impact of fractured bones (should it result) will be 
minimized during fall.
