Courier gets stuck in elevator in Novosibirsk: importance of following safety rules

An unpleasant incident involving a courier occurred in Novosibirsk. A young migrant tried to stop the closing elevator doors with his hand. However, the elevator mechanism trapped his limb.

The courier tried to free his hand on his own, but was unsuccessful. After that, rescuers were called to the scene. Specialists promptly freed the victim. The young man did not require medical attention.

Experts remind that it is dangerous to stop elevator doors with parts of the body. If it is necessary to hold the elevator, it is recommended to use only the special door-open button.

Also, in case you get stuck in an elevator, you should not try to get out by force. In such situations, the most correct and safe way is to immediately call 112 and wait for professional rescuers to arrive.
