Common Elevator Myths and Truths: There are many myths and misconceptions about elevators. This is because the majority of all elevator equipment is hidden from public view, which thus leaves much to the imagination of a passenger. The following are some of the most common myths and their corresponding truths: MYTH - Many people believe elevators are held up by only one rope that can break, leaving passengers in a free falling car. TRUTH - Elevators are supported by multiple steel cables. Each cable alone can support a fully loaded car. MYTH - Some people believe that an overcrowded elevator will fall. TRUTH - An overloaded car will normally not move. The doors will stay open and a buzzer may ring until enough people get off of the elevator to reduce the weight. MYTH - Some people believe the hall doors will open when an elevator is not there. TRUTH - The elevator is designed so that the car controls the opening of the hall door. When the car arrives at a landing, the car door engages the hall door and the car door operator then opens both sets of doors. If the car is not at the landing, it cannot trigger the hall doors to open.
