Carlsbad Caverns Elevator safety test Crash Landing
Part of the safety testing involves running elevator cabs at full speed (over 800' per minute) into hydraulic buffer cylinders in the elevator pit. This is what it looks like from below. The counterweight will rise and the cab will soon appear in center right. The lights inside the cab are lighting up the shaft walls as it descends toward you.

That made exactly the same sound as the explosions in the old Looney tunes cartoons. ACME supply company I'm looking at you!
This would be scary watching this an a Elevator shaft
Bro your camera is rip now or no
🤦♂️😂😎👍
what height did it fall from?
😅😅😅 же духе а вот и ю
noobs
More videos please
From that angle, it looks like a ghost train on fire coming to catch us all!
That was very loud and bad
Best
you can see the sparks which looks so cool
Dropped your smoothie.
2:08 nothing
1:58 When I ate 40 canned beans.
1:59 BOOM!!!!!!🤯
Well that fed into my nightmares about elevators nicely 😱😵💫🤣
always tears something up.cables off a sheave...etc......but a necessesary evil... I always dreaded it....
Looks like passengers might end up with a steel pipe up their ass 😂
Wow amazing 🥰🤩
It would be even safer with a hydraulic elevator
Hydraulics are actually less safe then most elevators. The point of this video is to test the pit buffer not to show that this is what would happen
Yesterday i had unintended buffer test (final sensor failed) xD While on buffer "catchers" got activated in upwards direction aaaaaand... 2h of grinding them cab guiders
😂🤦🤦🤦
NST TEST
I cant tell if the elevator is horizontal or vertical
Another test where the elevator is clearly not free falling... its controlled fall which in most cases is unrealistic. So is it really safe?. Lets see how it holds up with a full release. Cable snaps, breaks fail, elevator freefall
There are multiple fail safes on an elevator and in the shaft that prevent an elevator from free falling at an uncontrollable rate of speed. In the event of a fall the emergency braking system instantly grips the cables tightly and a pin goes into the rails to stop any further movement , the elevator emergency brakes can't be manually controlled through a test ride because those work automatically and only function when system detects when there's movement in the car when there shouldn't be such as when people are entering and leaving the elevator.
ACTION STARTS AT 1M 52S
It looks to be survivable but may end up with some broken bones. Great safety feature, however.
I work on high speed elevator in business centers's buildings. "Parachute" system (emergency stop if the cabin overspeeds without control) is made to stop the cabin in a calculated way, so it will not kill you, but at best it will break your legs and may cause spine injuries. But these accidents are really really rare. However, it happened to a collegue 3 years ago on a brand new elevator travelling at 7m/s. The elevator engaged the parachute emergency stop, making it go from 7m/s to 0 in less than 50cm of traveling distance. He got his 2 legs broken and spine got damaged also. He is still recovering and not working anymore.
@@fizzyafm5141 would lying down flat on the elevator floor in such an event prevent any serious injury? Or would that introduce potential trauma to the head from the floor during impact?
@@wallflower15875 I guess that yes, laying down on your back with your head down to the ground would avoid you knees/spine injuries. But if you're caught on a cabin catching the pararuche system, you won't have time to realise it that the cabin would've stoped already. Again, this type of emergency is extremely rare. Elevators are still the safest means of transportation, even safer than planes.
@@fizzyafm5141 Aircraft are one of the least safe methods of transport, right up there with cycling and motorbikes. The air travel industry just makes it look safer by comparing accident rates per miles travelled, instead of the apples to apples comparison of accidents per journey.
@DepakoteMeister if you want to go for example from LA to NY, flying is indeed the safest option. If you want to go to your local grocery store, walking is usually the safest option, followed by driving. It is very difficult to find a trip between cities that is safer to drive than to fly.
Oof
Roses are red, violets are blue The moneyshot starts at 1:52
😨
VIDEO STARTS ON 1:58
The anticipation was too much 😵😭
Woah thats sickkkkkkk👌👌👌👌👌👌WA
isn't it without break system?
"Lift going down" "We have hit the buffer" "Doors opening"
"We've have crashed. Anyways, going up"
Yes
@@coshiro1 😂
Love the safety gears bouncing 👌 haha. Very nice I need to record from this angle next time. Nice
😮😮😮 baddest wreck
1:55 volume warning
elevator test safety at 1:59 100% Safe
Was it on fire when It was coming down
That's so scary 😵
So it's safe 😲 unbelievable I've got so much fear on elevator but the reality is engineer working very hard to make it safe
Engineer?
@@josepimentel1666 The ones that develope these elevators are working very hard in order to make it secure. That´s what he tried to say :)
@@SSHEINI82736 that sound much better 😅
Some people my uncle made a elavator it's in my uncle's house it crashed Manny times
@@josepimentel1666 so who built those thing? God?
😂
2:00 NOOOOOOOOO!!!! what happened??!!!
OMG
RIP headphone users
1:59 dude u scared me af
o wow
1:59 Crash!
