What Happens If an Elevator's Support Cable Breaks?

What really happens if an elevator's support cable breaks? In this video, we explore the science and safety mechanisms behind elevators, debunking the myths often portrayed in movies. We explain the structure of modern elevator systems, discuss the causes that could potentially lead to a cable snapping, and highlight the various safety features that come into play to prevent a free fall. We’ll also share practical tips on what to do if you ever find yourself in a falling elevator.

Elevators are one of the safest modes of transportation, and with multiple safety standards in place, incidents involving snapped cables are extremely rare. Join us as we break down the facts and give you a better understanding of the incredible engineering behind elevator safety.
