Squished by elevator: Neither awesome nor funny.

Yeah, I don't think he did anything wrong given the circumstances. He acted instinctively. Unfortunately it just happened to quickly.

[Gman]

The video isn't graphic. If you knew he survived you wouldn't feel the same way about what you see. I don't think he was a "jackass", because the elevator did something it shouldn't. I find it difficult to Monday morning quarterback the guy.

Exactly.

Ok. After actually watching the video it doesn't look like any jackassery was involved. Looked like the door opened, one guy steps out, the other guy gets the first foot out and then down it goes.

This is why I tell my wife every morning before I leave the house that I love her. You just never know what your day will bring.

Nailed it.

I would likely have survived this incident thanks to being old and slow and having horrible reaction times. There's no chance of me even trying to catch myself. I would have just tumbled backwards into the elevator.

I guess getting old does have some advantages.

I guess he folded under the pressure...

ETA: If I die from getting folded, my sense of humor asks someone to play that at my funeral.

It's amazing what the human body can endure. Generally, folding is not one of those things. One of the worst calls I ran involved a human folded in a spot not meant to be.

I thought this thread was going to be about a terrible cover band name. Now that I read it, I wish that it was.
