I went "elevator surfing" once. I and a few other people opened the hoistway doors with the key(the car was right under me, we had someone holding the car on the floor below us while we went on top of the car. We closed the doors and just sat on the elevator... It wasnt really dangerous. There was some equipment on top of the car, which would give us room even if the topmost part of the car came into contact with the roof. As long as you dont look over the side(counterweights), sitting on top of an elevator really isnt that dangerous..

Are you a trained elevator engineer? I'm not, but one has given you good, sound, reasonable advice. He's been articulate, patient, and tolerant as well. That's not what your doing. When I picture in my mind what you posted all I can see is blood, and body parts flying everywhere. Zap yourself but don't post information the will get others toasted.
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in.

I agree. I think this thread is getting close to the end of it's useful life as far as new posts are concerned. The posts that blackhawk refers to have some very sound advice. I mean there are some things you do, and some things you just don't do. You get in a seat on a plane to go from point A to point B. You don't try to hang on to the wing to get a more "thrilling" view of the ride. Elevator shafts, and drops/holes of any kind are one thing that I STRESS very very hard when someone is with me. I came close once to losing my (then) 6 year old son to a hole that was very non-obvious. As far as I'm concerned, any post about the subject of elevator surfing for the "thrill" of it is about as useless and dangerous as you can get. The thread needs to stay, I think, for future reference as to what NOT to do. If your going to do it, you'll do it anyway. But don't do it under the cloak of "UE". That's not UE. That's simply dangerous, voluntarily.
