Easily lead to elevator failure

The recent occurrence of elevator accidents or related incidents has caused public concern about elevator safety. “There are two types of reasons for elevator accidents on the whole: one is the unsafe behavior of people and the second is the unsafe status of things.” Yesterday, Chairman Wang Qinggen of the Municipal Special Equipment Association said in an interview that according to statistics, 80% The elevator accident was caused by passenger unsafe behavior.

Do not hold the handrail with easy fall injury at 8 o'clock in the morning yesterday, at the Shenzhen North Railway Station, the reporter saw more than 20 guests are riding a large escalator down from the platform, including 10 passengers did not hold the handrails.

A female passenger was busy watching the mobile phone. When the escalator reached the exit, there was a slight vibration. When she saw her, she leaned forward and gave a sigh. Fortunately, she reacted in a timely manner before she fell. It is understood that in April of this year, the primary school pupils' accidents at the DiCoco Children's Park resulted from the detention of escalators.

Experts reminded that according to on-site survey data, about 50% of users in Shenzhen did not hold their handrails when using escalators or moving walkways. This is very unsafe. When escalators or moving walkways are in operation, people standing on them will have a slight sense of tremor and weight loss. In the event of a power outage, emergency braking, etc., it is very easy for passengers to fall and get hurt. Second, people are stranded at the exit of an escalator or moving sidewalk, which can easily lead to mass crowding.

As a result of the crash that caused staff to fall, the reporter visited a high-rise elevator in a number of office buildings in the central area of ​​Futian. At 12 o'clock noon, people who rushed to lunch were always crowded with elevators. Many people leaned their bodies against the elevator doors. During the peak period of elevator rides, you can often see this phenomenon: When the elevator door closes quickly, someone rushes over and tries to open the elevator door by hand.

In 2011, in a hotel in Bao’an District, a man drunk and lifted the elevator door, and he fell from the 6th floor to the elevator pit.

Experts remind people that when they rely on elevator landing doors or car doors, if the door is suddenly opened, it will cause passengers to fall, limbs are rubbed or pinched by the door and other risks.

When the elevator is in the process of running the car, if the passengers open the door by hand, the elevator will stop in emergency and the passengers in the car are liable to fall or sprain due to the emergency stop of the car.

When elevator floors and car doors are closing, dangerous situations can occur if hands, feet, bodies or sticks, carts, etc. are used to directly block door closing movements. In reality, there have been serious accidents caused by the hand stopping the car door from closing and the arm being cut off by the elevator. In addition, a long time blocking the door can easily cause the elevator to crash.

Children have been accompanied by high risk for unsuccessful visits. The reporters at school, including Carrefour and Rainbow Shopping Mall [0.00% Money Research], have seen children of school age repeatedly play on their escalators.

Experts reminded that changes in inertia make it easy for people to fall accidents. For children and the elderly who lack self-help capabilities, they need to be escorted by escalators or moving walkways.
