Deadly Elevator Rage

elevator-rage.jpg

A man who became enraged after missing an elevator fell to his death in the shaft after ramming his way through the doors in his electric wheelchair.

The video of the incident has proven popular viewing:

According to reports, the 40-year-old Korean man, crippled some years ago in a traffic accident and since confined to a wheelchair, fell 15m onto the top of the station elevator.

He is thought to have died instantly from multiple broken bones and a smashed skull.

Doctors report he had not been drinking prior to the incident.

    faceelevator or elevatorface suits me perfectly fine to describe this happening.

    And it's a bit like trying to jump out of a window in a tall building. But instead of opening the window, you have to break it. This is suicide.

    I wonder if the traffic accident he was in which crippled him was also due to road rage? Something to think about.

    I'm sorry, but anybody stupid enough to force their own way into an open elevator shaft deserves to fall to their death. The same way idiotic parents who leave a gun near children deserve to have their kid open a hole in them.

    i can't say i laughed at the video, but i did laugh at some of the comments here.

    come on, the doors have windows! he sat there and WATCHED THE ELEVATOR GO DOWN before he rammed them a second time. what did he think was gonna happen when he got through? he KNEW it was an empty shaft behind those doors and he threw his little tantrum anyway. i don't feel sorry for impatient idiots who get what they deserve.

    While generally anyone dying is not a happy thing...

    Yes i realize a guy died, but it IS FUNNY cause of the level of sheer stupidity involved. after the second ram one of the 2 doors completely came loose and the other came half off its track.

    What the hell should he expected to happen if he rammed it again?! A 5 year old child could have known what would have happened.

    I don't think it's funny. I honestly gasped. But I also wondered WTF is up with those elevator doors? I don't know about other countries but in the US elevators and their doors are a good 3-4 foot thick steel boxes. Well maybe not steel but let's just say a damn dude in a motorized wheel chair would never be able to break it down.

    The elevator company or building should be sued.

    Yes I know people will say but it was his fault. Well the damn elevator should have been built a little better. Someone would kill their selves just trying to ram down an elevator door in the US and I'm guessing UK as well. That is years before actually succeeding in damaging the door.

    Lets all play nice and not toss around the sue word.
    Different country = different building codes.
    I'm certain that the elevator door designer looked into the possibility that the doors would be rammed repeatedly by man in an electric wheelchair.

    Self stupidity should not be a basis for suing EVER. Its called self dignity.

    On a separate note. ever seen an elevator with only one set of doors open? Guess not seeing as you think its a solid steal door and not a thin metal shell there to look sturdy to instill a sense of safety but is just as thin as possible to save weight.

    Well, let's put it this way.

    A guy walking into a street pole is always funny.

    A guy who died from brain damage caused by walking into a street pole should not be funny but would actually be even more funny because an article like "A middle-aged man has died from walking into a street pole today" could only make a daily news article in the humor section.

    If this would be happening in US however, a court process could be started against the government, phone company or whoever built that pole there among thousands of others because it's the only country in the world where if you put your newborn into a microwave then it's the microwave oven producer's fault for not telling that your babies will be baked if you put them in an oven and turn it fucking on.

    The USA - where a man driving a motorhome activates the cruise control and walks back into the kitchen to make coffee. Surprised by the crash that happened due to nobody actually driving the man who survived thanks to dumb luck sued the manufacturer of the motorhome. Because nobody told him letting the thing drive itself is a bad idea. Only in the USA...

    Man fuck the guy man. You do something that retarded maybe you should be dead. Theres a door there for a reason. It means something bad is on the other side and maybe you should wait. I have no qualms in laughing at people being dumbasses like this escpecially if he died doing whatever dumb thing he did that even he would know better.

    "just 2 slams with a wheelchair," he says, as though that is a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to expect an elevator to withstand.

    He didn't ram it twice, he rammed it three times. Just because there was an elevator behind the doors the first time he slammed into it doesn't mean the mechanisms weren't damage. Slamming it once is an accident, twice /could/ be an accident, three times is full-on-intent.

    You can design against accidents, but you can't build against intent.

    Well I was thinking more along the lines of possible suicidal behavior - or the not give a fuck attitude. Considering he didn't mind all too much about ramming the door as hard as he could multiple times.

    Not to mention his deathgrip on the handlebars instead of grabbing the sides of the doorway to try and possibly balance himself.

    "Not to mention his deathgrip on the handlebars instead of grabbing the sides of the doorway to try and possibly balance himself."

    It's called "paralyzed with fear". You may find it strange while watching the video from the comfort and safety of your room, but you're not the one suddenly finding a pair of solid steel doors suddenly parting way into the void.

    On the second hit, the doors bulged a lot, and revealed the shaft. Anyone with an ounce of sanity or self-preservation instinct would get the hell out immediately.
    Instead, he accelerated more and rammed again.

    Man, I know for certain that a lot of Koreans have anger issues. One lesson I learned is that you should not mess around with Koreans in a fight at a public school. They usually take it too far and intend to injure and maim. You hear a lot of stereotypical black kids and hispanic kids causing trouble and getting into fights. People think those Koreans are calm, quiet people but they are vicious in fights. All the world strife seems to have done something to their psyche. lol. Which is actually a kind of a good trait at times.

    That kind of resilience and drive may be good in the global economy and all, but damn. That is one REALLY messed up and bad usage of that rage...
