A #boy put his umbrella's handle between #elevator doors to prevent it from closing in Fuzhou City, east China's Jiangxi Province. But suddenly the elevator closed and went into free fall while breaking the umbrella handle. The lift stopped at the 25th floor, holding the boy captive. Fortunately, the rescue team arrived in time and saved the boy.

As an elevator tech I can with 100% certainty say that was NOT a “free fall”.
As a casual observer I can say with 100% certainty that this wasn't a free fall.
As a free fall professional I can attest that this was free and may have happened during fall
@@NJ-wb1cz hahahaha you made my day 😆😆😆
Yeah that was clickbait. Someone who made that title should experience real free fall
If you were a slug that would be considered a free fall.
"Boy used umbrella to stop the closing doors of an elevator, gets stuck" is more accurate
I was looking for this
Then no one will click
Thank you!
yeah i thought the elevator was gonna start falling lmao
Ur title is kinda looping
As an experienced KZhead observer I can certainly confirm the best part of this video are the comments.
😂😂😂😂
As always 😂 and the worst part is always the bait title 😂
Haha.. right?
❤😂🎉true
I can confirm that there are comments in this youtube video.
As a man who used to be a boy I can confirm intrusive thoughts always win
That's the only reason I have kids.
hahahaha
As an elevator economist, I can assure you that this fall was not free. The ride cost him one umbrella and a clean pair of underpants.
I read elevator as umbrella and I was like huh?! 😭💀

Elevator economist isn't a job title I expected to hear in this birth

It starts slow, but it accelerates. And what was worse is that he did not know to to minimize damage if he hits the ground.
As an observer of child behavior, that kid suffered some natural consequences
As an uncertified philosopher, I can undoubtedly attest that the boy was unable to prevent the elevator from entering a "free fall."
And as a uncertified expert on falling elevators, I can say for certain that the elevator depicted in this video NEVER actually entered into any kind of “free fall”
As an uncertified English professor, I can corroborate with certainty that the title of this video never claims that the boy was able to prevent the elevator from "free falling", but rather claims the boy, using his umbrella to keep the door open, *caused* the "freefall". ...somehow.

@@MissBlackMetal Truly a genius observation.
Am I the only one who was expecting a different kind of freefall

I wasn't expecting a different kind of free fall because there is no free fall in the first place, the elevator just started moving and didn't activate the safety switch yet.

That wasn't freefall, normal operation speed. Wow people are gullible.

Good one.

Better title: "Budget media outlet doesn't understand how elevators work and doesn't have any better stories to report on"
Nothing I can post will top that. You win. 🥇
@M D This is a news channel, American news is news, it’s all just Yellow Journalism. You can’t just say it’s reliable without stating facts to support why it is, otherwise nobody will believe you... They don’t tell you the full story, so that you get angry and attack whoever or whatever they want you to attack, and then they can report on the drama. For example, The spanish american war was started by yellow journalism (although the war was unintended), the newspapers were saying outrageous things to try and get more readers, and one of those things was an accusation of Spain blowing up the USS Maine, which was believed by most Americans, forcing the US to declare war.
I mean it's China what do you expect

As a marketing professional, I can tell that the title was a perfect hook, line and sinker.
"Free fall" You mean the elevator began to move downwards like it ordinarily does?
It had a free fall, the emergency breaks just responded and stopped it before it hit the ground.
@@barlescharkley1436 at half capacity a lift in free fall would go up, not down
Damn! I thought I was immune to clicking on these.
@@barlescharkley1436 you mean before it fell right? The breaks on elevators act like ratchets so it could fall a max of a few feet before stopping.
@@barlescharkley1436 Did you even study High School Physics? That's not a free fall. If somebody cuts off the ropes, that's a free fall.

@@malachi3369 That is not what I said at all and you should be ashamed for even having that thought.
@@vigi1antvort3x41 chill bro i was joking because your text sorta did imply that
They wrote "free fall" not that the elevator hit the ground. Many elevators (the good ones) have brakes, so if there is a free fall, the brakes engage to safely stop the elevator. Movie-style deadly free falls are very rare.

As a guy who writes video titles in CGTN you can trust me that this is a 100% free fall.
As a major shareholder of the CGTN channel, I can confirm that title is 100% correct as the umbrella did do a free fall finally.
Elevators have emergency brakes on them. The emergency brakes just happened to be operating and saved him Edit: no where in this comment mentions the words “free” or “fall” so relax and stop trying to be the elevator police
"Happen to work" elevators are one of the safest things in the world. You statistically have more chance of dying from going up the stairs than you do taking the elevator.
@@lightshow366 they're safe in countries that have regulations and requirements. Definitely not safe everywhere
@@DGoingCommando oh definitely I was mostly talking about countries like the United States and Europe...etc that have mandatory maintenance, good design, and safety requirements. Generally, around 5 people who are passengers, and not maintenance, die annually I believe this is true in the united states, most of Europe, and Russia I believe I remember reading china has around 5 annually as well but that's astronomically low if we include their population so I would take that with a grain of salt.
He probably doesn't know that
emergency brakes ? Precaution measure in CCP China ? do you believe them ? In CHI NA ! for real ?
I thought he was gonna start floating or something. Glad he was okay
It wasn’t a free fall, the elevator went into nudge mode. This video is just clickbait 😔
U made my laugh
Man I wish
The title had us in the first half, I'm not gonna lie though
Most elevetors lock themselves if it detects the cables snapping.
As a realist I can confirm umbrellas are not free in the fall.
I was trapped in an elevator for 1 and a half hours I was informed by the guy that came to get me out I was one of the calmest people he has rescued from an elevator. I was just bored and a little annoyed I didn’t have my crochet and my phone was low on battery. I still use that elevator at the clinic I go to.
This channel does not know what free fall actually means.
it was free fall but the elevator’s brakes stopped it
Andy Grass why’s that
Someone call Jerry Maguire!
@@ryzzay it was not free fall or else the umbrella wouldn't have gone up the door at a constant speed. If it was free fall the umbrella would've risen at the same acceleration as gravity.
kelton davis A free fall is when something is falling downward by the force of gravity ONLY. It has nothing to do with speed or acceleration.

Speaking as a Certified Elevatorologist, that was not a free fall; it was a textbook case of toddler-induced door-delay syndrome.
As a neighbour waiting 14 min every morning for my lift I can say I enjoyed this short film.
Free fall ? I think that's clickbait, the boy would be dead otherwise
Elevators are not a loose box. They have metal strings and parts that prevent it from freefalling even without power or during malfunctions. There's no way for an elevator to actually freefall.
@GOOD BOI He knows it and I know it. It’s a safety measure to make sure something like that doesn’t happen.
my guy, it was falling without limits, just because it stopped before the kid turned into a puddle doesn't mean it isn't freefall.
The force of which it would have stopped if it was a free fall would still be enough to break his legs
@@klunt40 I had the same experience with a rope from some equipment I had getting stuck through the door, same speed as the umbrella, but I assure you the elevator was moving at completely normal operating speed. There was no freefall, just normal operation with something sticking through the door
That wasn't "free fall", the elevator obviously went down at normal speed.
FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT LIFTS AND KNOWS THAT IT WAS NOT A FREE FALL. kzhead.info/sun/oMdro6qCpqp3ZYU/bejne.html IS A GREAT VIDEO ABOUT THIS!
Thank you for being sensible! I abhor this kind of click baiting sensationalistic titles and videos.

The apt title is, "elevator detects something stuck in the door while trying to descend and safety stop kicks in, like it is programmed to do".
I don't think this is the apt title
I don’t think this is the apt title either
Whats an apt title
@Rederick fonz bro its so obvious
The umbrella got stuck in the elevator while it was going down, it's not programmed to do something like that
I got stuck in two elevators. I actually researched this and found that the chance of the same person getting stuck in two elevators is one in ten billion.
Even less likely if you get stuck in two elevators simultaneously.
@christopherauito7262 That would be painful.
As an unlicensed plumber who has been in an elevator before I can confirm with 100% certainty that what the boy experienced was not a free fall.
"The boy tried to open the doors with his bare hands" I don't know if they're insulting him or just reporting what they saw 🤣
i thought the same HAHAHHSGA
LMAOO
If they are insulting him, you can open doors with bare hands. Elevators stop as soon as you open the doors. Yes I did do some shit back in the days. Had to get rescued while elevator was in between two floors, I still remember I was so afraid that it would fall down and I'd be chopped in half.

Free fall = elevator closes doors and moves down at normal speed....
Pretty much xD
Haha ik I thought the kid would go flying
Im so mad at that, i tought i was gonna see a real free falling
Wouldn't the elevator move upwards because it's under half capazity? I dont think freefall is the right term for this at all hahah
That’s not free at all. Perhaps Chinese has a different definition to freedom
As an elevator with a passion for umbrellas, I can certify with 99% certainty that this caused the boys rescue team great pleasure.

Being that doors-open-button the boy kept pushing at first, I can say that I was glad he used the umbrella for a change.
As a professional umbrella assembler, I can undeniably confirm that this little boy didn't know how to make the 'umbrella handle' retract into itself. So he definitely didn't have enough brains to hold an elevator door open!
I see no fault in the kid. Kids are always like this. But it's the parents responsibility to teach kids about dangerous things. Parents should learn from this video.

i thought the elevator was going to fall straight down to the bottom in high speed
Michael Itzchaky yeah “free fall”
Clickbaited
That only happens in the movies. In an event that a real elvator would drop down, it has a built in brake mechanism that clamps down on the wires to stop it from descending. The only way for an elevator to plummet down is if someone cuts the wires which is almost impossible without the necessary tools to do so. In fact, it's safer to travel in an elevator than on an escalator or stairs.
It did, but the camera was inside, falling as well....
Clickbait title...
This guy would describe walking as being in free fall over and over again.
As someone who uses elevators I can confirm that the boy 100% was holding the door

I don’t understand why he didn’t just wait outside of the elevator. Or why his dad didn’t have him like outside his office or wherever he works

Disliked for misleading title, there was no free fall whatsoever. ~~~~~ The replies seem to forget that almost all elevators in a high-rise building has a COUNTERWEIGHT. For it to have a practical freefall, the counterweight needs to be removed/detached.

True! The boy would've been dead if it was a free fall
“Cgtn is funded by chines government” hmm ccp again...
@@donosudono1597 Misleading title happens anywhere. Why making everything political. Disgusting.
@Gogito 875 well in physics what does free fall means? Accelerating towards the Earth due to gravitational acceleration right ? A life works on controlled descent. It's not a free fall as the tension on the ropes and the pulley system lowers the box at a controlled speed. But when the umbrella got stuck it caused the lift cables to loose tension and fall on it's own due to gravitational acceleration and the elevator's mass. There was no controlled force acting on the elevator to control the descen. But lifts have emergency braking systems in case this happens or the cables snap. And it brought the lift to a slow halt by adding friction to the railings through brakes and thus preventing the elevator from hitting the floor. So the frictional force is greater than the weight of the elevator so technically it's at a state of free fall stuck on the 25th floor.
What's better than letting your kids in the elevator first
To realise that if you went in first it would be you dead one.
