OMG! I don’t think I’ll be using those elevators any time soon! Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve used them in two years anyway. You’d think they would be in better shape for where they are. I still have shivers going down my spine just thinking about it. Brings back that feeling of a falling elevator in PCB. Don’t care to experience that again. *Shivers*

I went on a rollercoaster at the weekend that imitates the track fallign away. in the dark. then shoots off backwardfs into the dark somewhere. i literally bricked myself.

Freefalling in general = scary.

I don;t understand people wo go skydiving, or base jumping. Hitting floor at 500 miles an hour. No thanks.

I’m sure that everybody has his or her own fears. It is common for human beings. However, we can rely on GOD to face our fears.

I don’t think it’s an irrational fear at all and after what you went through today I wouldn’t get back on that thing! YIKES!

I confess to not being very fond of elevators myself. I once worked in a hospital with a pretty old elevator system. After spending about an hour trapped in one of those things I never stepped on one (at the hospital) again. The place was 8 stories tall and I worked on the 1st floor. My job took me several times an evening anywhere from the sub basement to the 8th floor. I took the stairs EVERY time. AND I had to take those stairs in as much time or less than what the elevator would take so my neurosis wouldn’t interfere with my job.

The upside? I was probably the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life and I had an ass you could bounce a quarter off of! LOL!

Anyway, to this day if I get the option of using the stairs somewhere over the elevator I’ll take the elevator every time. Just tell people that you’re doing it to maintain your fabulous rear end!

I’ve never had them drop far but have been stuck temporarily in elevators. I’m not ordinarily claustrophobic but when an elevator stops I get that way. So far I’ve always been close enough to a floor to pry open the doors of the elevator car and the lobby doors and climb or jump out. I’ve been told numerous times how dangerous that is – I suspect by people who watch too many movies. But even if the thing should start moving again and the safety features to keep it from doing so with somebody in the doorway I find that a better alternative than being stuck. It would not be a good thing for me to be truly stuck in an elevator.
