I was almost dismembered by an elevator as a child. it was at my grandfather's shop/house. he was the only person who used it, since the upstairs was his apartment. my sister and I were screwing around and jumping in and out while the doors closed. the fact that the doors didn't have a sensor to stop the doors should have been a hint. on one jump, my leg got caught in the elevator with my sister while the rest of me was still outside. the door clamped on my knee and the elevator started to rise. I started screaming while my sister started spamming the open button but it wasn't stopping. My dad thankfully heard the commotion and grabbed me by the shoulders and pulled until I popped free. I guess the reason my grandfather never bothered with that safety features was because he was a double amputee. if his leg was caught, he could have just popped it off
