I found a video of elevator surfing on youtube with step by step instructions on how to control the elevator from on top..Be careful if you must do this..I was just busting your balls...I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt..There are no standards as far as i know of the height the ceiling has to be...Ride it to the top then climb out and ride it down...

I think its disgusting that you people assume he's looking for a sticky, and that this thread should be locked.

All he asked for was a question to be answered, not to cause a little drama. He had good intentions, you can tell by the general mood of his post.



If you don't have something nice (relevant?) to say, don't say anything at all sort of thing, imo.

AVE...

Someone asked, how they get surf board on the elevator. They open the doors on the 2nd floor, when elevator is on the 1st floor.
Someone asked, how to disarm a A-Bomb. And is it safe. To do that you must find the main part (metal ball or cylinder with lots of wires sticking out of it) and cut all wires. A-Bomb won't detonate, because it doesn't have any failsafe detonation circuits.

Someone asked, how much space is between a elevator and elevator shaft celling. You must measure it. Go on the top floor, open door, lock them with bag, open hatch and use tape measure to mark the distance, then do some photos of space to find if there are some spiky things.

Elevator surfing is stupid, people doing it have big balls or small brains, or both. Sooner or later it will end in coffin, small one.

Now, all questions in this topic are answered, lock it, please...

"Generally there is enough room to stand. Sometimes you have to crouch down. The Best way to check is by slowly moving the elevator to the top w/ manual control to see if it stops before it gets too close.

There are some elevators that gives you VERY little room so be careful.

I see that you're in the UK. Things maybe setup differently in general there, so do your own checking. "

This boys and girls is the stuff that those sticky body bags are stuffed with!



First, have a plan!

Practice, practice, practice.

If you can picture yourself as surviving, maybe you'll only get seriously maimed.




Second, have a reliable back up man that knows first aid.





Third, Just do it! Don't worry!

The trauma is just like dirt, washes right off!

PTSD is just a veteran myth; agonizing pain makes you stronger!







________________AFTERWARDS____________________________


Sometimes things don't turn out as one plans;
try not get your hopes of having a happy life too high.





Remember, no matter how bad it gets, just survive!
They can put you back together if you live.
Maybe not quit the same, but a at least close.

You'll be sipping that morning coffee again!

Air, its not like I haven't tried to figure out what I asked, this is the last place I wanted to ask because of answers sort of like yours.

Also, I guess urgon's idea is the only one that will work... now that i think of it, there isnt really a standard for all elevators. Actually, if this thread is deleted, it would be better.

I doubt it will be deleted as too many think it's a quasi acceptable thing to do.

It's not. It's as safe as Russian roulette.
The odds will turn you sooner or later.

Like your fingers?
Try not using a thumb for a day.
I know people who are missing "just" half a finger tip.
Even after 30 years, they still think about that missing flesh; they miss not being whole.
Death isn't the only concern here by a long shot.

Search for other threads on this topic if any of you are going to try to do this for important 'how to' tips.

So.... Where'd all these n00bz come from?? Elevator surfing.... It's only relevant here if the elevator is in an abandoned building. If not, go elsewhere with that. Kthnxbye.

How is it only relevent if the elevator is abandoned? Doesnt UER stand for Urban Exploration Resource? and aren't skyscrapers along with the elevators within considered urban, wather abandoned or not? Also, drains aren't abandoned, but they are still part of UE, and cranes, water towers, construction sites, electric towers etc.. To say that only abandoned buildings are relevant to UE seems kind of narrow-minded.
just something im throwing out there. But since i"m a "noob" its probably all wrong and should be completely discredited.
I hope I didnt waste any of you alls time.

I've been in construction 30+ years and had an elevator on at least one project a year for those years, most elevators will come within 3-4 feet of the roof deck/underside of the equipment room. If it's a piston type, mostly used in three stories and less, it's most likely gonna come within 2'as there is nothing needed on top it's all below. In most hi-rises, there will be steel plates at the top that the cables run through, these will most always be closed and only open if someone is working on the top of the cab in the raised position. if your thought was a way into the equip room, that wont usually get ya there, it will in about 80% cases squash you at the top, that is if you make it that far without getting tangled in the cables first. Also, remember to keep everything within the perimeter of the cab, weights, steel, cables and various things come within 1" if the side of the cab and will lop off a hand real quick.

eh....what can u really say to a question like this ? if ur looking to become hit of the year on rotton.com then im sure ur on a winner, i bet the wide range of decapitations you could receive would be a great spectacle to flick through....
..although you say it was an innocent question but you should have thought first what reception you expected...this forum is open to scrutiny from all involved and what you got was the voice of experience and reason in loud unmistakable tones " just dont do it "

best advice would be to listen and learn....

If you don't see how this first came off as a trolling post, I don't know what else to say. And if that wasent bad enough that you'd like to try it (which is your own business I agree), think of all the idiot trolls who might think this is a great thing to try out after drinking.

get it now?

A question was asked and answered. It's too late to argue about stupidity of elevator surfing. Now lets hope that the asker will survive without losing body parts and will, eventually, forget about risking life in such stupid way. I would prefer Bungee jumping or climbing more than sitting on top of the car between steel ropes.
