Did you know that it is a myth that elevators can free-fall down the elevator shaft? It’s true.

In our “Common Myths” white paper we tackle this and other common myths about riding in elevators. My hope is that you’ll understand how safe modern elevators are and how important they are to our everyday travel needs.
