You are in a falling lift.....

[stratosphere2]

You are in a falling lift, the normal and emergency brakes have both failed, what do you do?

Discuss!

EDIT: Changed it a bit so there might be more possibilities.

[Sepron]

Hopefully get a miracle

[Andys]

Die.......

[Shinigami]

die .

[Breakfloor]

lay on the flloow (if any space) and protect head

or get as low to the floor as possible and protect my head

or give up or just die anyway

[Mitch4?]

Probs would of died before i knew i was falling tbh.
or crouch on floor, and when your near bottom jump.

[Loser]

Pull out my pistol, kill the others in the lift and use their corpes' to cushion the blow.

[jackass]

Jump just before it hits the floor. Sorted. ;)

[cocaine]

Jump just before it hits the floor. Sorted. ;)

how do you know where the bottom is?

[dirrty]

Jump just before it hits the floor. Sorted. ;)
i was gonna say that :P
i always do it in lifts lol.

[Elasticated]

nothing. what can you do...

[Virgin Mary]

Use the power of christ to stop it.

[Everlong]

Use the power of christ to stop it.
Pwnt..

[Grindie]

take the stairs, don't be a lazy ****

[Jrpt]

50/50 chance.

just keep jumping :)

[ebay]

Admit defeat.

[Ashley 12344]

Kinda funny you posted this.
At work tonight, someone was stuck in the lift.
My mate started at 5:30, and heard a faint knock from the lift so his mate knocked back.
Turned out someone was stuck in the lift for a few hours.

[PaintYourTarget]

I'd most probably brace myself in a corner and pretend that'd do some good... gotta have an optimistic last few seconds on Earth, eh?

[le harry]

take the stairs, don't be a lazy ****
You're already in the lift though lol

[Charlie]

I'd make conversation with the person in the lift so that the drop is at least entertaining. Or, try and get out of the lift via the little hatches in the roof and hope for the best.

[Monopoly]

Is it not that you're ment to try and push yourself up against a wall while faling and jump when you think you're about to hit the ground?

[tdi]

if you jump when it's about to hit the bottom you'll still hit the bottom at equal force, if not hit the roof. you most likely wouldn't know where the bottom is anyway.

[,Wayne]

apk Is rite

Ull Die, if you dont ull serously hurt ya self.. End.

[FlyingJesus]

Whack off one last time

[bo$$]

Jumping wouldn't really help. The first issue is obviously timing.. and the second is that even if you jumped, you'd still be hitting the ground at the same force that you would be if you were just standing there. If anything, you'd increase your chances of dying by jumping, haha.

Your BEST bet (and what I'd do..) is just lay down and cover my head. Laying down is the best thing you can do because when you hit the ground, the impact isn't just on like your feet, legs, etc., it's spread across your entire body and it takes like.. 25x (or something like that) more energy to break your bones when you're flat then when you're standing. :D

[Kenneth]

I'd make conversation with the person in the lift so that the drop is at least entertaining. Or, try and get out of the lift via the little hatches in the roof and hope for the best. Was justing thinking that. Would get through and get in the elevator shaft.

[lew!]

press the stop button

[Recursion]

Stop button wouldn't work if the cables were severed or something.

If stuck with a hot girl, do it. ;)

[iJoe]

Don't new lifts have things at the bottom that, if this happened, they would absorb the shock :D

[Technologic]

If you jump in a lift falling at 80mph and you jump up at 5mph you'd still be goint down at 75mph...

[Loser]

I thought someone would have said this already, but since they haven't, I'll say it.
You can't jump in a falling lift before it hits the ground. It doesn't work because you aren't pushing off of anything solid. If it did work, you would just hit the roof and die instantly, leaving you a mushy pile of flesh and blood on the floor (unless your blood is really sticky, then you'd be on the roof).

[GommeInc]

Die, nothing else to do but die :P You probably won't be able to jump after a while, you'll float a little.

[Crimson]

Admit defeat. But before I would die, yell and scream to others in the lift;

"YOUR RELATIVES HATE YOU! YOU WILL GO TO HELL! YOU ARE GOING TO DIE! DIIIIEEE!"

:]

[MJJ]

probably scream.
I know it wouldn't do any good, but I wouldn't know what to do anyway. ^^

[Wootzeh]

Ermm lie down because the lift is in a 2storey building :D so wouldn't be injured much tbh.

[cocaine]

if u were lying down wouldnt you get lifted up to the ceiling?

[Jordy]

Stop button wouldn't work if the cables were severed or something.

If stuck with a hot girl, do it. ;)Yeah while your raping a hot girl, it might only be a two-storey building, busted.

[Fez]

Lie on the floor and make a angel shape, it'll hurt when it hits the ground but I'll live.

[Stevehere]

pray to allah... duh

[bo$$]

if u were lying down wouldnt you get lifted up to the ceiling?

no because even though the elevator is falling, you're also falling+picking up speed the further you go

[IceNineKills]

How fast are we falling?

[Sepron]

i would call customer services because as they always say 'always happy to help'

[whoooosh]

pray .

[Aces]

Pull out my pistol, kill the others in the lift and use their corpes' to cushion the blow.
Could you imagine if everybody in the lift had the exact same plan?

[Stevehere]

lol shoot eachother lmaoo

[Aces]

lol shoot eachother lmaoo
Allah would lol I'm sure.

[Stevehere]

i turned muslim overnight because some dude I know is one and he teaching me parts of the qaran which you read out when you pray.

So I'm safe because allah looks down at me and will save me from the fall. :)

[ToxicPaddy]

Pray and jump before I hit the bottom (if I knew where the bottom was).

[jesus]

soil myself

[Stevehere]

I thought you would post your habbo will on here jamie before you went?

[.::BaRkSeH::.]

it's going to take you a matter of seconds to reach the bottom, no way are you gonna have time to get it up a girl never mind have sex with her try to be realistic. i'd probably sit now, or if I had a joint on me quickly have a last toke, i'd be happy.

[Firehorse]

open the lift roof hatch and climb up the falling cable and if possible grab a cable that isn't falling with the lift. then theres just a long way down to climb...

[ChimpTears]

They did an experiment about jumping on some program once and if you jump before you hit the ground yes, you live.

[Davii]

lol u would like burn ur hands grabbing a cable at 80mph

[Technologic]

That was mythbusters and no you don't live, i saw that episode like last week

[Kardan]

lol u would like burn ur hands grabbing a cable at 80mph

I'd rather burn my hands then die tbh.

[e5]

Stand and wait to hit the floor? LOL. It won't be long.

[Moh]

I would get out my laptop and tell you guys.

It all depends on how fast its going and how many floors. If theres enough time, try and climb to the top of the lift and open the roof :P
Wouldn't do it in time though.

Lets make the story cheesy.

The lift is going to fast upwards, it breaks through the roof and then your falling to the ground in a box with nothing around you apart from air.

But whats the possibility of:
Lift going out of control
Breaks failing

lol, e5 splatted on the bottom of a lift. I would pay to see that.

Possibility it might be an elevator from charlie and the chocolate factory ;)

[Moh]

Yea, would make you feel sick though.

[Stevehere]

What the chocolate or the elevator? :lol:

[Hiro]

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

*splat*


That's what I'd do.

[shizzle]

I'm in a falling lift on the 1st floor, and all I do is I wait for the ground floor.

[MissAlice]

Double check the emergency button? Then *screammmmmmmmm*

[Sepron]

Double check the emergency button? Then *screammmmmmmmm*

I thought your always happy to help :(

[Fehm]

Hmm...

Cling onto the girl youve liked for ages, and have the most passionate kiss youve ever had in your life, and then die :) Or throw her to the flow to cushion the blow :D

[Describe]

Jumping before it hits wouldn't work really as you don't know when it's going to hit.

but basically, die is the only thing.

[CJW93]

I'm pretty certain would die in that situation

[24]

Jump just before it hits the floor. Sorted. ;)

Lol. I love that + rep. That is just a fantastic answer :P Made me laugh irl.

Personally, i would hope there would be some good looking young man in there and just well make the most of my time left...if you get my drift;)

[Xarea]

Listen to my iPod.

[Aces]

I'd dance to my death.

[cocaine]

id laugh at how unlucky that situation would be

[mangle]

Video the other people and try and get it on Youtube. Fame achieved!

[Teyauna.]

What can I do? I'd probably start bawling my eyes out, screaming, everything.

[-Soph-]

Wish that Betty Lou Oliver was with me to offer me some advice lmao?

http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainn ameatlonglast.com/long131.html


I thought the jumping thing didn't work also... didn't they test this on mythbusters?

[Wyked]

I think jumping forces your body down through your legs when you hit the bottom, not very nice.

[-Soph-]

Well I guess it kinda makes sense, I think what would kill you would be the vibrations through the elevator when it hits (unless you're falling from like, the 100th floor, then I think you'd just be squished regardless of what you do), so I guess it makes sense to get away from them.

But you'd have to time it perfectly, and be in the air for some time.

Who knows... personally I don't want to test it out.

[Mikey]

*Shivers* I'm never taking the lift again :)

[Plux]

********** one last time.
Need to die with pleasure.

[Blue]

Probably not realise I'm falling and just stand there till my knee caps are where my shoulder blades used to be :)

[Jaiisun]

Whack off one last time
I was just about to say that!
:P


And if you jumped, if you're going very fast, won't you hit the ceiling with a pretty hard force?
:P

;].
