    Have you ever rode an elevator that suddenly stopped moving or the door wouldn't open. I haven't, but that's always a fear of mine when I get on those things. They're also talking about it on 20/20.

    That would be so scary. I have never had that happen.

    No - but my Mom and I came withing a couple of minutes of being trapped. It was thanksgiving and we came up in the elevator. We turned on the pots and pans to get things started - turkey had been in the oven all afternoon - and within 5 minutes the power went out. Had we been 5 minutes later, we'd probably have been trapped, which would NOT have been good as the power was out for something like 2 hours. We eventually got supper on and had a late dinner, though we were wondering if we'd be eating just the turkey, as it was almost done when the power went out.

    Years ago I got stuck in one for about half an hour. Luckily I was the only one in it. Would hate to be in a crowded elevator that stopped - you know where you couldn't possibly sit down. I just stretched out on the floor and waited for maintenance to get me out.

    I haven't been in an elevator since I was a baby in the hospital and I don't plan to be in one again.

    Very, VERY briefly. And it was scary.

    Not yet. Ever hear about the guy who was stuck in one for 41 hours? Look up Nicholas White.

    Yes once. It stopped just as it was going up. I pushed the alarm button, told the security guard that I was stuck. They took their sweet time coming so I pried the doors open. It had stopped half way up from the first floor ledge up so I was able to just jump out on to the floor.

    Hasn't happened to me, but it's a good idea to always have a charged cellphone on you when you get inside an elevator.

    Hasn't happened to me either....but I don't think I'd be scared that much. It depends on what floor I was stopped on. If it stopped on the second or third floor, I'd be straight.

    Yes. At the gym I go to, the elevator is tends to act flaky and the rides are not that smooth. Once I got in, and on the way up it just hung for several minutes. I used the emergency phone and as I was describing the situation it finally crept all the way up to the floor and the door opened.

    Quasi-scary as it was....I still continue to use that elevator from time to time.

    It's funny. One of the Final Destination movies didn't bother me at all but I can't view an elevator the same way after Devil. I'm just glad to get off them. lol
