wingnut 0 #5 August 19, 2003 QuoteElevators and escalators kill about 30 and injure about 17,100 people each year in the United States, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries 1992-1998 and the Consumer Product Safety Commission looks like it's still safer to skydive than ride in an elevator ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,534 #6 August 19, 2003 About the only thing I'll do any more is pass my hand between the doors without touching anything -- if there's an electric eye, that'll trip it, if there isn't, I'll wait for the next car. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
