The video is shared alongside the caption\u201d Never use your hand or leg to hold or stop an elevator. You never can tell; the sensor might just be faulty.\u201d This has led to increased sharing and spreading across various platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe frameBorder='0' width='640' height='360' webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen src=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/embed?id=26348321&#038;shareKey=cfc28e7a483b363f54050abe8b36b482\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/756601749899145\">Source<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/video\/26348321?key=cfc28e7a483b363f54050abe8b36b482\">Archive<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thailand.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1230\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 30-second video went viral among X users as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thailand.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1229\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JaguaUTD\/status\/1769996059567165612\">Source<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/image\/47193316?key=d365eeb0bba57f23547fc651e1fee94a\">Archive<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact-Check<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our fact-checking process began with a search for news or reliable sources about the incident depicted in the video. Despite a thorough search, we found no credible news reports about this incident. The lack of coverage from trusted news sources suggests that the incident may not be genuine. Additionally, we could not locate the video on any reliable news websites, further casting doubt on the video&#8217;s veracity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further investigation led us to the full version of the video, which is 38 seconds long. The last 8 seconds of the original video were purposely removed from the viral footage since it attributed the video to a website called thepowerofnice.com and also displayed the text \u2018There\u2019s a better way to be nice at the office\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe frameBorder='0' width='640' height='360' webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen src=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/embed?id=26419025&#038;shareKey=7ade1602281bf936eb09d4342349da63\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=1548175958809202\">Source<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/video\/26419025?key=7ade1602281bf936eb09d4342349da63\">Archive<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continued our investigation by focusing on the website mentioned at the end of the video and found the archive of the Power of Nice website (See archive <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20070104182241\/http:\/www.thepowerofnice.com\/index.php?\/nice\/surprise_party\/\">here<\/a>). The archive version of the website from 2006 revealed that two videos, \u201cHold the Door\u201d and \u201cSurprise Party,\u201d were featured on the website then.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On \u201cThe Power of Nice\u201d YouTube channel, the \u201cHold the Door\u201d video has since been removed due to violations (see <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/deObWNQiI_k\">here<\/a>), but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O8bfvHo2i1M\">\u201cSurprise Party\u201d video<\/a> has been available since 2006. This video also stages an office surprise party and displays the exact text: \u2018There\u2019s a better way to be nice at the office, \u2018indicating both these videos were created for awareness purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thailand.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1228\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O8bfvHo2i1M\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, several observations suggest that the staged video is fabricated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The surveillance camera footage does not indicate the year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The elevator door cuts off the arm in less than one second, which is highly unlikely. The speed and force of the door should not be sufficient to sever an arm so quickly, and such a feature would pose a significant risk to users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There is no blood on the floor where the arm exits the elevator, and even the amputated arms seem to fall off even before the arm reaches the top edge of the elevator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We also found an article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techarp.com\/articles\/man-killed-arm-stop-lift\/\">TechARP.com<\/a> indicating that the video was published in 2006 to promote the book &#8220;The Power of Nice: How to Conquer the Business World with Kindness&#8221; and that the video&#8217;s ending has been removed. We also discovered a Chinese article from 2018 debunking the same claim, suggesting that the claim has been circulating for many years (<a href=\"https:\/\/rumtoast.com\/8726\/%E5%8D%83%E8%90%AC%E4%B8%8D%E8%A6%81%E7%94%A8%E6%89%8B%E4%BE%86%E6%93%8B%E9%96%8B%E9%9B%BB%E6%A2%AF%E9%96%80-%EF%BC%8C%E5%B0%8F%E5%BF%83%E6%A9%9F%E5%99%A8%E6%95%85%E9%9A%9C%E5%A4%BE%E6%96%B7%E6%89%8B\">Source<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, it\u2019s important to note that the safety sensors of elevators mean that the lift doors generally won\u2019t trap your hands or arms unless you put them out when the doors are almost entirely closed. However, it is advised never to block the lift doors open with any equipment or box or with your foot or arm. In some of the newer elevators, holding the doors open in such a way could cause the elevator to &#8220;time out&#8221; and shut down as a safety feature. A mechanic must reset the controller to restart the elevator in this situation. Use the&nbsp;<em>Door Open<\/em>&nbsp;button on the floor selector panel to hold doors open longer than the normal timing sequence allows. More on elevator safety <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattleu.edu\/housing\/services-and-amenities\/elevator-safety\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A video circulating on social media claiming to show a man being killed after attempting to stop an elevator with his arm is fabricated. No credible news reports about the incident were found, and the video was traced back to a 2006 promotional campaign for the website &#8220;The Power of Nice&#8221;. The ending credits have been purposefully removed from the viral clip, and several visual observations suggest that the video has been staged for an awareness campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Misleading.png\n\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>Horrifying Elevator Accident Video: A Stages Awareness Video from 2006<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fact Crescendo Team <\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Misleading <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20send%20your%20query:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"http:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Whats-app-sri-lanka-new.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, a video has been circulating on social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), claiming to be scenes of a person\u2019s arm being amputated while attempting to stop an elevator using his arm.
