What to do if the elevator drops rapidly

1.Stay calm:

2)Take a deep breath, try to relax your body, and prepare for the next self-rescue measures. 

2.Press all floor buttons: 

1)Quickly press the buttons for all floors in the elevator so that when the elevator's emergency power is activated, it may stop at a certain floor.

3.Take a protective posture:

1)Keep your back against the elevator wall, bend your legs, and keep your feet flat on the ground to reduce the impact.

2)If there is a handrail, hold it tightly to maintain balance and avoid falling due to unstable center of gravity.

3)You can cross your hands in front of your chest or protect your head to avoid severe impact on your head.

4.Avoid shouting for help:

1)When the elevator is rapidly descending, try to avoid shouting for help to avoid wasting energy.

6.Wait for rescue:

7.Cooperate with rescue:

1)When rescuers arrive, you should cooperate with their instructions and act according to their requirements.
