What if you were on an elevator and the cable broke?
Have you ever seen an action movie where the hero gets in an elevator, but the evil villain has cut the cables? The elevator plummets dozens of stories and disintegrates in a ball of fire on impact. There’s even a ride at Disneyland, called “Tower of Terror,” where you can actually take a ride in a runaway elevator that falls 13 floors!
Fortunately, elevators in the real world have so many safety features that this kind of stuff never happens.
