Understanding Elevator Accidents
Elevator accidents can occur due to various factors, including mechanical failures, design flaws, inadequate maintenance, and human error. Common types of elevator accidents include:
Falls: Elevator malfunctions or sudden stops can cause passengers to fall and sustain injuries.
Entrapment: Being trapped inside a malfunctioning elevator can lead to anxiety, claustrophobia, and injuries.
Door Malfunctions: Defective elevator doors can close unexpectedly, trapping individuals and causing injuries.
Electrical Malfunctions: Electrical failures in elevators can result in sudden jolts, shocks, or fires, leading to injuries or fatalities.
Overcrowding: Overloading elevators beyond their capacity can cause them to malfunction or become stuck between floors, risking injuries to passengers.
