Man Rams Elevator, Falls To His Death

HKr1 · December 13th, 2010, 03:53 PM

Wheel chair people are crazy drivers.

scotty · December 13th, 2010, 04:01 PM

Old grumpy people. I am not surprise one bit. This is sad, and I feel for his family.

Darwinism triumphs again. He was in a mobile chair, not a wheel chair. He was perfectly capable of walking, but chose not to.

Based on what info does it mean he can walk, especially long distances? My mother-in-law has a scooter, she can't walk without severe pain in her knees for more than maybe 30 ft without assistance. Does that mean she could have walked but chose not to?

Think before you come to conclusions.

alright, my bad. i still have no sympathy for him.

Just making a point, no hating over here.

Should have used a smiley I guess...oops.

I have never seen an elevator door do that before. I figured they would better built than that.

Well, I don't think they built the doors to be anti scooter crash proof.

Hahaha

No, I laughed too! I even forward this to a buddy of mine! The situation is funny, the death is not.

This made the rounds plenty already without TYT inflating their viewed numbers. It's not their vid and they should make a vid commentary show like Ray William Scott's "=3/Equals Three" if they want to do that stuff.

Any death is sad--even if the circumstances are ridiculous. One of the guys on my Ranger Team did four tours in Vietnam virtually unscathed. He went home on leave in San Francisco, stepped off the curb and got run over by a bus. In literature, they call it the Theater of the Absurd.

There are a disproportionate number of pedestrians that get taken out here in SF. Not sure if its the laws, the street layout, the buses, the drivers, or what; but for a relatively small city it's incredibly dangerous in that regard.

Wow...that's not even close to funny.

insane!

it looks like he fell quite far.

xMoises831 · July 3rd, 2012, 02:04 PM

why would he continue to ram it if he knows the elevator isn't there anymore?

Heed · July 3rd, 2012, 03:49 PM

I can imagine seeing this reenacted on 1000 Ways to Die.

I wonder what floor he was on.

Eh, if the elevator were going down I'd be more concerned with what floor it were on.

This is tragic, yet at the same time amusing in a weird way.

I don't even know what merging someone does to them. It could be good! I was hoping for something a little bit painful though as your punishment
