Elevator Failure	comment	Elevators (or lifts as they are called in the UK) are pretty mundane devices. They go up, they go down, and they move people and property vertically. The general rule of the elevator business is that, when their job is done right, you don't even notice the trip. There's a reason for this: because elevators carry people and improper operation can result in injury or death, there are various rules. Elevators have certain codes and requirements and generally have to be inspected every year. In fact, the inspection certificate has to be publicly posted in the elevator itself, usually behind a glass frame (to keep the certificate clean and to prevent someone from stealing it) so anyone seeing it can see that it was inspected during the last 12 months. In fact, you should be very wary if you have entered an elevator where you notice the inspection certificate is missing or expired. If the inspection official with the city or region does an inspection and it fails, the elevator will be ordered out of service as unsafe until it is brought back into code. But sometimes, that's exactly what happens. Because of tampering, inadequate maintenance, or unusual environmental conditions, something goes wrong with an elevator, with very bad results. If you're lucky all that happens is you're Locked in a Room. If not, "going down"... May lead to Born in an Elevator. Can also be used as a way to relieve sexual tension, especially if two people who seem to be incompatible share a big kiss. Note that this trope deals with ordinary elevators that fail or are sabotaged by someone. When the elevator itself can make itself fail, that's not Elevator Failure, that's Evil Elevator. Definitely not related to Elevator Going Down, unless someone decides they Must Not Die a Virgin.

Caleb Vance almost falls down the elevator shaft as the door opened and the car wasn't there. Immediately afterwards, he somewhat reluctantly rescues Morgan Winters, who had been trapped in the elevator for about 24 hours. Several hours later, the two of them, Alyssa Selwyn and Oren Edgar try to climb down the shaft so they can escape the building. However, the elevator car begins to descend. Caleb, Alyssa, and Morgan manage to get out of the way in time, but Oren fails to jump to safety and falls to his death.

Elevator Failure / int_33dd1d8f	comment	In Half-Life, an elevator carrying some scientists falls, carrying them to their deaths, when you press the button to summon it shortly after the resonance cascadenote One of the level designers said this was a message to other developers to stop using puzzles involving finding and pressing buttons. Another elevator on the way to the generator in "Blast Pit" fails while you're riding it, and will go into free fall with you still on if you don't find a way off. Black Mesa adds two more such elevators. One in "Unforeseen Consequences" falls while you're inside and lands in a pool of water that's formed at the bottom of the elevator shaft, forcing you to find a way out before you drown. Another elevator found in an alternate path during "Office Complex" plummets just after you get out of the shaft through a vent. Barney Calhoun is assigned to fix an elevator at the start of Blue Shift. Go ahead, take a guess to what happens when he does.

You take it to learn some awful truths that Alphys has decided it's time to reveal...but then the elevator malfunctions from a power failure, and it falls for what feels like a few hundred meters before finally crashing. You get out, but now you're stuck in the True Laboratory until you restore elevator power.

Gadget survives the fall by breaking through the ceiling and extending his arms up to the motor. In "Basic Training", Dr. Claw programs an elevator that Gadget is riding to plunge down to the bottom of the shaft, where Spikes of Doom have been set up. Penny sees that the elevator is going too fast and uses her computer book to reverse it, only for a frustrated Claw to send the elevator back down. Claw and Penny continue to send the elevator up and down the shaft repeatedly, until Penny finally overrides Claw's controls and disables the spikes.

While he's doing so the elevator activates for no apparent reason, and he's barely able to swing aside on his safety rope in time. The elevator then snags the safety rope as it passes and he has to release it, only for the elevator to hit the top and then start falling again so he has to dodge that as well, damaging his oxygen supply in the process.

Captain Man is fine with it, but Henry and Charlotte are usually screaming and crawling out of the elevator, out of breath. In the episode "Elevator Kiss" Henry, as Kid Danger, saves Bianca, his current girlfriend, from an elevator that is about to fall 79 floors. It actually does fall, leaving them dangling by Kid Danger's safety line in the shaft.

Unluckily for her, Eve also cuts the power to the whole hospital to prevent her from using the other elevator.

When Geordi La Forge takes a turbo-lift (an elevator that can also travel sideways), he ends up violently thrown around and pinned to the walls and ceiling. When it finally comes to a stop, he is thrown violently out of the turbo-lift and onto the bridge. In "Disaster", the Enterprise encounters a quantum filament, causing massive damage throughout the ship. When it hits, Captain Picard is in the turbo-lift with three children (a situation he wasn't exactly thrilled about to begin with), and the impact is so violent he breaks his leg. Later on, they discover that one of the safety clamps has been damaged, forcing all four to climb out before the turbo-lift plummets to the bottom of the shaft. The Enterprise was infected with parasites who are eating away the ship's nitrium in "Cost of Living." At one point Data and Captain Picard are riding in a turbolift up to the bridge when they notice the tell-tale goo that shows the parasites have been busy and the ride starts to become a little bumpy. Fortunately they reach the bridge before the situation gets worse.
