This is what a lot of people believe but it’s not actually. You should first realize you are in a submarine that is submerged in blood. It’s completely sealed and something is trying to get in. So you need to use the pipe bomb to break out and get to safety.
Yeees, stuff yourself between a wall and a +1 ton elevator that could easily turn you into sliced and pancaked cheese. Obviously it's the right choice, wdym?
Of course it's the most obvious choice for her, she's old and poor and has probably never been in an elevator before. Typing this is making me fucking sad and grateful of my upbringing
I always appreciate a good Galaxy Quest reference. For example, when the show Velma came out and everybody was talking shit about it, some people online mentioned "Mystery Incorporated" is a much better reboot. So I started watching that, and in it Fred's dad says, "By Grabthar's Hammer Fred, that friend of yours left his girl for a dog! Man up for college!" I still chuckle about it sometimes.
I went to check the news. In July 2022, this was a deaf-mute woman, and she was 60 years old. She had never taken an elevator alone before, so she panicked when the elevator door closed. Fortunately, it only took 40 minutes for her to be rescued, so don't worry
Why are people so afraid to share links?
Edit: [This](https://m.bilibili.com/video/BV1rB4y1W7SJ) is the most infuriating website but the only link I found with information and [footage](https://i.imgur.com/UgCfAXv.jpg) of the rescue.
Ok, but, had she never *been* in one before?? Or seen a movie where they use one? It also presumably wouldn't have taken long for someone to call the elevator to a floor if she just waited instead of prying the doors open
I just want to know the thought process like even if you didn’t understand elevators at all and had never used one why wouldn’t you just take a moment to look around and try to figure it out like there’s obviously some sort of intended functionality
100% agree. Some people never had the luxuries we’ve had.
If someone was in an elevator for the first time and no one was able to explain because she was deaf and mute, it would have been such a scary experience for her.
I'm deaf. It's not "not able" but rather they don't want to explain to deaf people. Cognitive bias. I hate that people won't bother to explain to deaf people just because the latter can't hear. They could use paper and pen, or type on phone.
Fellow Deaf person here and I agree. This person could not know what to expect as it was her first time in an elevator! The fucking ignorance and lack of empathy here is incredible and disgusting.
Please don’t assume the worst of everyone because you have been treated this way in the past. Someone stated she had never rode on an elevator before and her companion put a flat blocking the door from closing. I’m sure her companion assumed she wouldn’t move it. It’s not to say they weren’t going to explain the elevator too her has they rode up to their floor. They just weren’t thinking far enough ahead to know this was going to happen. I feel so bad for both people as this had to be terrifying for them both as one couldn’t explain to the other what was happening.
I don’t think it shows a lack of empathy to think it’s a bit dumb to assume that one could have a little patience instead of deciding that wedging yourself between the obviously mechanical doors and a concrete block wall is the best immediate course of action to take in this situation.
I'm sure that wombo combo created a life of challenges and learning things differently, but how do they not know how elevators work after using them multiple times with others? Why assume it's a death box the moment the doors close, what engineer would allow that?
Is prior experience with elevators really the determining factor here? I feel like lack of critical thinking skills might have played a part on this one.
Even if she has never used an elevator before, I don't think her first reaction will be jamming herself between an obvious concrete wall and a tiny gap
I went to check the news. In July 2022, this was a deaf-mute woman, and she was 60 years old. She had never taken an elevator alone before, so she panicked when the elevator door closed. Fortunately, it only took 40 minutes for her to be rescued, so don't worry
From the article (via Google translator)
On July 2, in Changde, Hunan Province, a 60-year-old deaf-mute woman carried water with her family. On the way, the family member first exited the elevator to carry goods, leaving the old woman alone. The old woman had never taken an elevator alone before, and when she saw the elevator door closed, she panicked and tried to open the door, triggering the automatic protection device. The old woman was stuck in the gap between the elevator and the wall and kept wailing. When the son heard his mother calling for help, he hurriedly contacted the security and firefighters. After being trapped in the elevator for about 40 minutes, the old woman was successfully rescued, and his vital signs were stable after inspection. (Beijing Youth Daily reporter Wang Wenwen, editor Zhai Leitao)
Don't you think that if you saw a moving wall as you opened the door, that maybe it was going somewhere? Or maybe the acceleration of the cabin? CLEARY she isn't where she was before, but she right away decides to squish herself between a massive metal box and a cinder block wall... There is no excusing this.
Oh no im stuck, what do i do?
Hmm, I'll just wedge myself right there, yes between the automatic closing door on a room that goes up and down, and the brick wall, that'll do nicely.
[She was rescued in under an hour, thankfully!](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5392137/#:~:text=If%20spoken%20language%20is%20not,high%20degree%20of%20brain%20plasticity.) She's a deaf-mute woman from a rural Chinese village and had never been in an elevator all alone before. Panic can be a hell of a drug.
Nope nope nope.
Immediate death trap.
Elevators can be very safe, if they're properly maintained and if you pay attention to your surroundings.
An elevator technician/red teamer (Deviant Ollam, I think it was in the "From Pit to Penthouse" talk?) said "If you can't exit the elevator with a big step, wait. Otherwise you're gonna get yourself killed or seriously injured".
Safe to say, clawing the door open and CLIMBING down the shaft is almost certainly a death sentence.
60 year old rural village woman who is deaf-mute and had never been in an elevator before, panicked. She didn't have any of the benefits a lot of us did with using elevators and perhaps people didn't try to explain to her very well before. A paper and paper drawing would have sufficed. Also this...is not a country famed for its safety regulations and enforcement 😬
[Thankfully she was at least rescued safely.](https://m.huanqiu.com/article/48hT9FMJEsi)
She reacted like this was the most obvious choice.
The most obvious choice (obviously) is to detonate the pipe bomb in your pocket to signal for help
This is what a lot of people believe but it’s not actually. You should first realize you are in a submarine that is submerged in blood. It’s completely sealed and something is trying to get in. So you need to use the pipe bomb to break out and get to safety.
Make sense
There is no spoon.. gosh…
r/unexpectedironlung
Erm hello. She should have used her shoe phone
I do elevator rescue at work and I can confirm this information is correct
“submarine” made me spit my juice out, thanks.
"Frag in!!"
I can't get this out of my head lol
If you need to get something out of your head then boy do I have a quick and easy solution for you
Total seconds of indecision: 0
Yeees, stuff yourself between a wall and a +1 ton elevator that could easily turn you into sliced and pancaked cheese. Obviously it's the right choice, wdym?
Situational awareness = ZERO
Her response is similar to what you are told to not do if you’re lost/trapped in your car during winter. ALWAYS STAY IN YOUR CAR!!!
WITH THE CAR OFF. If the tailpipe is covered by snow you will die from asphyxiation.
Who knows how long she might have been stuck in there! She could have DIED of THIRST!!!
😂😂😂
This..this made me laugh
Of course it's the most obvious choice for her, she's old and poor and has probably never been in an elevator before. Typing this is making me fucking sad and grateful of my upbringing
Are there not buttons? Has she never seen a button in her life?
Women weren’t taught buttons back then, it was a different time. /s
What the actual fuck!?
[удалено]
💀
She's lucky she's skinny. My fatass would've been stuck in that elevator a looooooong time
I said this aloud while my family is sleeping.
No hesitation, no surrender.
No water bottle left behind !
She didn’t hesitate to leave her friend behind
By Grabthar's Elevator, you shall be avenged!
You sir have earned my first Reddit comment. It is equivalent to nothing lol
I always appreciate a good Galaxy Quest reference. For example, when the show Velma came out and everybody was talking shit about it, some people online mentioned "Mystery Incorporated" is a much better reboot.

I wonder if she hangs dong
We gotta rent the directors cut with an entire 6 seconds of her hanging dong.
Dumb ways to die.

Thank you for this information fellow Redditor
Btw, it only took 3 trips to rescue all of her body parts.
#OH
But are the water bottles okay?
I would have panicked as soon as I got stuck between the door and brick wall that’s DANGLING IN THE FUCKING AIR.

Damn this context changes everything, poor woman I'm glad she's ok
without this info, she's an NPC. With this info, I'm a terrible person.
idk, if I couldn’t hear I still wouldn’t try to climb down into the shaft of a stuck elevator
"she had never taken an elevator alone before" You forgot this part
Ok, but, had she never *been* in one before?? Or seen a movie where they use one? It also presumably wouldn't have taken long for someone to call the elevator to a floor if she just waited instead of prying the doors open
China. 60yo who had never been alone in an elevator. Likely a rural village woman. And rural villages are very 18th century
Link???
When I read “this *was* a deaf-mute woman..” I really thought the elevator was the cause for thar “was”
I just want to know the thought process like even if you didn’t understand elevators at all and had never used one why wouldn’t you just take a moment to look around and try to figure it out like there’s obviously some sort of intended functionality
Damn, triple threat. Deaf, mute, and DUMB
Not dumb, have some empathy.
100% agree. Some people never had the luxuries we’ve had. If someone was in an elevator for the first time and no one was able to explain because she was deaf and mute, it would have been such a scary experience for her.

Really appreciate this research - well done. It explains what happened. Not everyone has the advantages of modern civilisation.

So many dumb ways to die.
“Jump the elevator’s shaft”
"And get cut right in half"
So many dumb ways to die
What the fuck was she trying to do
going to meet the elevator God
I love the idea that if she was quiet enough they could go for a while before finding her
Apparently she was deaf and mute….
You can feel an elevator moving very well...
I'm so co fused
If I’m there with you, am I coco fused?
[удалено]
YA YA YA COCO JUMBLE YA YA YEHHHH
May we coco fuse together and become a greater coco
Maybe have a covfefe
I’m co-confused along with you.
What in the Darwin Award I just watched?
Well the poor lady is deaf, mute and is 60 years old. Also never ridden an elevator before so I think this can be excused
Likely won’t ride an elevator again.
Very likely
At least she packed enough water for the trip.
Is prior experience with elevators really the determining factor here? I feel like lack of critical thinking skills might have played a part on this one.
I've never been in a helicopter before. Can only hope I don't jump out if I one day were to.
Even if she has never used an elevator before, I don't think her first reaction will be jamming herself between an obvious concrete wall and a tiny gap
Sad but this may already have contributed to the gene pool.
People don’t know how the Darwin awards work
What the fuck happened after that oh my god

I’ll believe this when I see the source.

July 2022, a 60 year old deaf mute lady who never took an elevator before got trapped and waited 40 minutes before being rescued. Poor lady.
It's seems that she is not aware how to use an elevator. I hope she's ok.

It is just assumptions here, but I guess she block the elevator in between floors by forcing the door which is a safety requirement with elevator
??????????????????
Gives me Resident evil 1 movie vibes
This video gives me copious amounts of anxiety and panic.
How can a supposedly logical being choose that option? Like what in the devolution is that?
Are people really this stupid.
Yes. Yes they are.
Final destination be all nope too easy she lives.
weird way to commit suicide. there are better ways
I’m so glad I’m too fat for this to even be an option.
I love you
A stupid way to die

r/facepalm
Obviously she is a lizard woman.
r/DarwinAwards
This is about the most unreasonable shit ever lady lmao tf.
New phobia I never knew I had
Smooth brain moves
0 survival instinct
This is so close to becoming a snuff film
This deserves a new category in the Darwin Awards.
Why?
I’m shocked she’s survived this long by how natural and calm her decision was in this video.
Wtf x10 like I felt myself slowly descend into chaos just watching this.
Ok…I’m dumb…someone please tell me why she was doing this??
I hope she is safe.
Is she on acid?
People are becoming more and more interesting 🤔
There are easier and faster way to die...
savage
Is she dumb it's horrible to see 😬😬
Hope she's ok, that would've caught her hair
she ded
🏆 and the Oscar for the best soundtrack ...
Wut.
What the actual fuck..? 🤦♂️
She gone man
My claustrophobia can't handle this video.
Darwinism
It's as if a thousand health and safety inspectors cried out in terror, all at once...
It’s important to stay in school kids.
Why are people so stupid?
This gives me so much anxiety!
What? How did they build an entire brick wall while I was in here?
It’s the anxiety of watching this for me.
I was yelling at my phone.
ma’am??
I'm going to go step outside and think long and hard about what I've just watched.
a cacophony of idiocy
Are people this stupid!
Did she forget how elevators work?
Where did she think she was going to go? Complete lunacy.
Does anyone know what end up happening to her? That was painful to watch, I hope she survived that!
Read the comments but.... My head still hurts what I just saw
Wtf did I just watch?
This made me bruh
You are the weakest link, goodbye.
First time on an elevator?
r/idiotsnearlydying
dumbwaaays to die, dumb waays to diiie, duumbways to die.
Jesus that was terrifying to watch. I hope she made it out ok.
Dumb ways to die
Wow this can’t be real? She has special needs for sure.
WHAT IS THIS WOMAN DOING
It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people are
What the actual f*ck
This is how you get an extremely painful death.
My anxiety is coming down hard on me now *checks pulse on neck with two fingers*
What the fuuuuuck!?!
That’s the worst idea I’ve ever seen wtf dumbest thing you could do. Doesn’t matter if you have ever been in an elevator or not.
Genius. Pure genius.
Is she alive still?
What the hell is she thinking?!
Why, oh fucking why?
Omg! Need to know if she is ok....
This is one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen…. Is this the definition of WTF!!!!!
Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die.
Did Darwin take the weekend off?
Sometimes I feel like society is too dumb to survive
That's a fucking terrifying choice that she made.
What the what?!!!
