Have you ever paid attention to this sign at the closest to any lifts before "IN CASE OF FIRE DO NOT USE LIFT"! Ever wonder what is missing? If cannot use lift then use what? When someone gets panic he/she may not think right and just cannot decide what to do. That was the past maybe the fire department are fully aware of such flaw and insisted its compulsory that these three little words "USE THE STAIRCASE" must be added in all signages.
We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people around us. Most of the time we take things for granted. Do you 'look before you leap' each time the lift stops at your level? It is very common routine for people to walk into the lift the moment the two doors open wide without looking further. Better be safe than sorry, look again to check if there is a lift in front of you before you take a giant step into it especially when the lift is empty. What about while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling at a fast speed? Fortunately, elevators in the real world have so many safety features that this kind of stuff never happens. Check out more info on the safety features here. Anyway just in case, read on and hope this piece of information may help any of us when things do happen to yourself, our friends and our loved ones.

First ~ Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift.
When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.
Second ~ Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).. It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance.
Third ~ Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.
Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.
Fourth ~ Bend your knees.
Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised during fall.
