Well, what did he expect, sometimes it's best to just take a deep breath, and relax, no matter how frustrating missing a lift can be!

Simon. :yikes:

I concur with everyone else, what an idiot! The building owner should sue him for damage to the elevator!

How impatient can one person be???? And what did he think ramming the door would accomplish? Did he think that another lift would magically show up? Wow....

Don't know if it's Darwin's Law or Murphy's,, but if you're gonna be dumb,, you better be tough.

Surely that isn't real! Is it a gag or something? Surely people aren't that stupid. He didn't even lean back like he was trying to not go down. It looks like he just leans head first!! Dumb!! I just can't believe it is real! I said that already didn't I?:)

Apparently, this happened in Daejeon, Korea. Apparently he fell 6 meters and died.

Next time, just take a deep breath, count to 10, and chill!

Seriously was he mentally disabled or something?

I'm sensing a pattern here. Rectangular entrance with a height challenging cavity that appears consumer friendly for the non-threatening purpose of ergonomically assisting objects from point A to point Z. Sound familiar hmmmm anyway........where else can wee humans inflict unintentional harm in such an unceremonious way...alrighty then; so far we have elevators and laundry chutes.

Good show Boss :w00t:

On a more serious note; after viewing the video it is apparent to me that rage and frustration took over and he intentionally harmed himself. I don't know if he meant to kill himself but we'll never know. He obviously needed help. I wish him well on his new journey.
