How To Survive An Elevator Fall 😨

[ThreeSheep]

"If you're in a free falling elevator"
I'd die 💀

"Luckily the boy isn't branded by Zack"💀

"And so I died evenly over my entire body."

Elevators have automatic brakes in case the main line snaps. Elevator brakes are incredibly hard to destroy even if the cable snaps.

"lay down" "alright" *Breaks fucking back*

Poor kid.
I replay the shorts over and over so that he continues to survive.

At least this animation isn't too realistic and wont be in my nightmares💀😭

That’s why elevators should be equipped with parachutes so you can be confused before you die

[OcasionAli]

“Man, i hate elevators.”
“Thats why i’m taking steps to avoid them.”

Imagine explaining this to a friend at the last minute. Damn they would definitely not believe you😂

"Ey bro we're falling!"
"Lay down"
"Huh?"
"Just lay down"

Even if you timed the jump right, you'd need to jump with such force that you could jump as high as where you started the fall.

The problem with "laying down" flat in a free falling elevator is that there would be 0 g's. Kind of hard to lay on the floor when you are floating.

"Ey bro we're falling!"
"Lay down"
other 20 people in the elevator - "Huh?"

I like how he makes it seem like the reason it doesn't work is because you wont be able to time the jump lmao.

[Jbangz]

Doesn’t mean you’ll have a 100% survival rate, but your chances of survival are increased

Mythbusters walked so zachdfilms could run 🏃🏾

[SimplyCubedGD]

“Is he okay!?”
“He’s just sleeping”
💀

For anyone worrying about this happening to them, the majority of commercial elevators have several safety features and fail-safes to avoid falls or prevent excessive damage due to them, the major ones being multiple cables (Each of which can hold the weight of an full elevator), multiple brakes (Machine, safety, etc...), and buffers at the bottom of the shaft.
Basically, every single wire and both brakes would need to fail before you would start free falling.

They should make a falling elevator a amusement park ride

Zack should’ve mentioned laying completely flat can cause severe head injury. So, it would be best to protect your head with some cushioning or your arms to minimize that injury.
