Elevator climbs 31 floors in 15 seconds with the doors open slamming passenger into roof
CCTV footage uploaded to YouTube shows the horrifying moment a lift malfunctioned in Chile and rocketed up a building badly injuring the passenger inside.Entering a lift comes with a faint sense of foreboding for many of us, such is its claustrophobic confines and lurching vertical trajectory, yet despite there being a word for the fear of buttons (koumpounophobia) there isn’t actually a term for this fairly common phobia.
Those who experience it won’t be heartened by the video below however, which sees 31-year-old José Vergara Acevedo frantically hammering the elevator’s buttons as it hurtles up the shaft of a building in Bustamante Community Park in Providencia, Chile.
