Word to the wise: if your car has electronic tire pressure sensors, do avoid using blingy metallic valve stem caps. Electrolytic corrosion will ensue and your valve stem can snap off at any time

~The Rules~ say not to put your bike on its head either  SniperWoreConverse posted:man, I am just not the type of dude who knows how to do poo poo. Seems obvious now. gently caress cars I wish I could get rid of mine. It's ok man. Once you realize it's not magic, and that you're going to get dirty and likely busy your knuckles a couple of times, working on your car becomes a lot more accessible.

Was this a case of them doing it wrong, or the buildings being built wrong/already falling apart? Or both?

According to the youtube comments they were all slated to be demo'd, the last one just fell down before they expected. It seemed extremely fragile to fall down so easily, but that's why they were condemned and slated for emergency demo in the first place.

Brick structures really aren’t great at shock loading, especially ones that have already been condemned.

Yeah, they could have been more careful and avoided that, but since they were all slated for demo they probably were more reckless (than usual)

I did a project on elevator safety for a risk analysis course and in North America the leading cause of death of passengers (as opposed to construction workers, maintenance personnel, or rescuers trying to reach a stuck car) was failure to properly board the elevator car, which included the door opening with no car present and the passenger entering the shaft and falling. Another cool way to die also included getting stuck and crushed between the floor/ceiling of the car and the ceiling/floor of the floor they were on due to faulty door sensors

While she was on the way home from her psych appointment treating her phobia of elevators.  Doc told her to stop at the supermarket and get two big paper bags full of groceries, including a couple bunches of celery so she wouldn't be able to see well while carrying them, then get on the elevator without looking and just look at her groceries on the ride up to our floor. The elevator came, she didn't follow instructions and instead peeked into the compartment, and the elevator car was not there. She decided not to continue trying to get over her fear of elevators, and has taken the stairs ever since.

yikes  I picked elevators as a project topic because I had a phobia of elevators. I actually helped me to get over it by seeing the actual numbers made me realize just how infrequently people get hurt using elevators. It also helped that most passenger injuries or deaths were caused by "user error" - not paying attention when boarding, trying to rush closing doors and getting caught into them, or even trying to escape a stuck elevator and falling off the elevator car roof. I still try to avoid them unless it's absolutely necessary though.
