I once dreamt I was cut in half by a lift.  It was not at all fun, so I&#x27;d definitely follow this advice :-D<p>The other piece of lift related advice (that I really enjoy saying in more crowded, rickety lifts): I once read if in a lift that is falling you should attempt to lie flat on the bottom of the lift to limit the impact - preferably on top of another human.  Some hacker news physicist will prove me apocryphal here I&#x27;m sure...
