4. Some interesting info on elevators..
Elevators are characterized as being extremely safe. Their safety record of moving millions of passengers every day, with extremely low rate of incident, is unsurpassed by any other vehicle system. Even so, fatalities due to malfunction<6> have been known to occur on occasion.<6> A certain number of passengers do die every year in elevator-related incidents.<7> In 1998, it was reported that of the estimated 120 billion rides per year in the approximately 600,000 elevators in the United States, 10,000 people wound up in the emergency room<8> because of elevator-related accidents.


This is an amazingly low percent of incidents or accidents..
