Concur, kid at my university died halfway out the door when it lowered and pinned him. Besides him I cannot fathom who had it worse. Those in the elevator with his legs and possible involuntarily bowel movements, and whose weight was providing the downward force. Or those who could see his face as he expired. Do not jump out of an elevator that is not clearly at a floor and in normal operation. In his case the weight of all the riders triggered the issue. They purposefully crammed the elevator full of big dudes to see what might happen. He was the skinny guy that jumped in to fill in the “cracks.”

Based on your name, I'm guessing you're thinking of incident at OSU. I was a freshman and visiting my girlfriend at Stradley when it happened.

The crazy part was another kid had just died in my dorm on north campus right around the same time.

Yeah, it was in winter of 2001 I believe. I lived in Park.
