Trapped in a lift?

I got this article in my email. I'm not sure who to credit for this:


We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people aroundus. Read on and hope this piece of information may help any of us whenthings do happen to yourself, our friends and our loved ones. One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling fromlevel 13 at a fast speed. Fortunately, I remembered watching a TV program that taught you must quickly press all the buttons for all the levels. Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level.
When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions you make decides your survival. If you are caught in a lift breakdown, first thought in mind may be 'waitingto die'...But after reading below, things will definitely be different the next time you are caught in a lift.

First - Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift. When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop thelift from falling further.

Second - Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).. It is to supportyour 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 asprotection.

Fourth - Bend your knees Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised during fall.

Hopefully this saves someones life out there..
