Woman drops to her death in lift plunge

THAILAND - A woman succumbed to severe injuries on Sunday night, in the first legally recognised death caused by a falling lift. The accident happened on Saturday at a furniture showroom in Nakhon Ratchasima.

It took place at the Home Furniture Class showroom when Siripun Kaysoong-nern led two customers, including a heavily pregnant woman, up in the lift.

While ascending, the lift suddenly started dropping from the fourth floor, possibly because a sling chain snapped.

All three people in the elevator sustained critical injuries. Prapawarin Jaidee had a miscarriage and is under intensive care at the Maharaj Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital. The other customer, Kris Chuaychua, is stable but is still in hospital.

Police have not yet pressed charges pending examination of evidence. The investigation will determine whether the accident resulted from recklessness.

I remember an old episode of Mythbusters, Jamie said all lifts have a braking system to stop it from plunging even when the cable snaps!

Maybe Thai lifts have no braking system, only breaking system.

Only in the movies do lifts fall from snapped cables. So, the conclusion is what? Karmic?

You are truly a son of a serial rape victim. It is unforgivable that your mother got raped serially by many men each night that she was drunk with cheap alcohol. With such an upbringing we are all understanding of your serial rape victim mother who unfortunately gave birth to you with too much sperm embedded into your fartard head. :oIo: :oIo: :oIo:

You are correct. LIFT have many safety feature.
Lift have few steel cable cannot be broken all together even if half cable still holding will not break.
Then there is governor and safety catch kick in brake if lift running more than normal speed. Slow down sensor, cut off sensor, suspension/buffer.................
