Preface
It seems that the world of the rich is not absolutely safe.
The incident happened suddenly, and Mr. Su would never have thought that because of his filial piety, he "sent the old man away".
Is it man-made that the elevator has such a problem, or is the elevator itself defective.
The old man died in the elevator
Because Mr. Su's mother was an only child, the old man was old and there was no one to take care of him at home, so Mr. Su, who has always been filial, proposed to his wife that he wanted to take the old man in to live together.
Mr. Su's original house was relatively small, and if the elderly were brought in to live together, the room would not be enough to be allocated, so the couple hit it off and bought a three-story villa in Songjiang District, Shanghai.
After the house was bought, it has been being renovated in a hurry, and finally in October 2022, the decoration of the big villa was finally completed, and Mr. Su also took his grandfather into the new house to live together.
The old man was arranged on the third floor, although his body was not as good as before, and there were some common diseases, but his legs and feet were quite neat, and he could take care of himself completely, and he could barely go up and down the stairs.
Mr. Su saw all this in his eyes, so he considered buying a home elevator for the elderly, so that the elderly could go up and down the stairs more easily.
At first, Mr. Su went to the physical store to look at it and found that there was no match, but later when he was visiting the online store, he accidentally saw a store, and the products in the store were more in line with his requirements in terms of praise and price.
After a wave of bargaining with the merchants, the final price came to 71,800 yuan, and the elevator was shipped from Jinan.
However, the quotation that Mr. Su got clearly stated that the quotation company was from Shanghai, and to put it bluntly, the order was transferred to the agent.
After the installation, two years later, on the eve of the tragedy, on the evening of April 18, 2024, Mr. Su suddenly received the sad news of his grandmother's death.
Mr. Su couldn't accept such a reality and wanted to see his grandmother for the last time, so he took the family to Hangzhou overnight to take care of his grandmother's funeral, but left the old man alone at home.
After saying goodbye to his grandmother, the family was ready to rush back to Shanghai on the morning of April 20, but tragedy had already happened on the way back!
According to Mr. Su's description: At about half past four in the afternoon of the 20th, their group dragged their tired bodies home, and when they were about to press the elevator to go upstairs to rest, they suddenly heard intermittent cries for help in the elevator.
At first, Mr. Su thought that there was a burglar in the house, so he cautiously looked inside through the crack of the elevator and found that his outsider was lying in the elevator shaft.
This can be a big deal for Mr. Su, immediately dialed 120, and then went down to the negative floor of the house to rescue his grandfather, because it is a home elevator, so the elevator shaft is very small and the rescue can not be opened, so he knocked off the screen window next to it and turned it in for rescue.
Finally opened the elevator door to carry my grandfather out, and at this critical moment, 120's car also arrived in time, and Mr. Su quickly arranged for 120 to send his grandfather to the hospital.
After initial rescue, Mr. Su's grandfather was awake for a while, told Mr. Su that he had fallen for about half an hour, and then passed out again, and finally Mr. Su's grandfather died of his injuries.
After a night of inspection by Mr. Su, he began to deduce that the old man wanted to take the elevator downstairs before the accident, but the elevator door on the first floor was probably not closed tightly, causing the elevator to get stuck on the third floor and not going down, and the old man did not understand this, so he walked down to the second floor.
I wanted to take the elevator upstairs in the back, but the old man was confused and didn't know that the elevator was still stuck on the third floor, and the elevator door was not locked, causing the old man to habitually open the elevator door and go inside.
With the exposure of this matter, netizens are also discussing, among which the highest voice is "who is responsible for the safety of private elevators".
The private elevator is almost used by itself, excluding the quality of the elevator itself, and it should be responsible for what happens, but it can be seen from the video that the elevator itself seems to have potential safety hazards, and Mr. Su also implemented his own ideas.
Who is responsible for the accident?
With the death of Mr. Su's grandfather, Mr. Su, who was already in grief, made matters worse, and after two days of ideological struggle, Mr. Su chose to defend his rights against the merchant.
On April 22, Mr. Su led his family to contact the elevator supplier through the telephone and explained the situation one by one.
Unexpectedly, the elevator seller became the shopkeeper and threw the problem to the agent.
Mr. Su dialed the phone of the elevator supplier again, and asked angrily, "Is the elevator made by your manufacturer?"
The supplier believes that there is no problem with his equipment, and then says that he only sells equipment, and the elevator door does not belong to our scope.
Hearing the words of the elevator supplier, Ms. Tang, Mr. Su's wife, couldn't hold back and asked loudly, "We bought your entire set of equipment, and you didn't tell us that the door is not from your company." ”
The two sides argued, and finally broke up, the agent sent someone to Mr. Su's home that day, to discuss the handling of this matter, and said that the incident has been reported to the elevator supplier head office, is waiting for the audit results.
During the period, no one was sent to check whether there were any hidden quality hazards in this elevator.
But on April 25, the elevator supplier and the agent came to Mr. Su's home together, and the two sides directly came to discuss the compensation plan for this incident, and did not talk about the essence of the elevator.
However, on April 26, Mr. Dou from Jinan said that he had been cooperating with Mr. Su in the investigation, and was currently looking for a professional appraisal agency to test the elevator involved in the incident.
As things continue to ferment, the reporter also found Mr. Su to ask what are the hidden dangers of the elevator, and Mr. Su said that he was also very simple, and bluntly said that he had not maintained it since he bought it.
There are also many problems, often stuck, and the elevator arrives at the floor after the display error, thinking to go to the repair to contact the manufacturer several times but no one came forward to deal with it.
Finally, the official also came forward to explain that as early as January 19, 2023, the regulations on the management of private elevators were issued, and the elevators used by families do not belong to the scope of special equipment supervision.
Seeing this, netizens couldn't sit still and expressed their personal opinions:
"Since it has been repaired, the elevator should be out of service before the overhaul, and the consequences should be borne by yourself. ”
There is nothing wrong with saying that, I know that there is a problem with the elevator, so I should not let the old man continue to use the elevator.
"The service attitude is poor, and the customer warranty is not dealt with. ”
Since you know that the customer's elevator is broken, it should be repaired in a limited time, after all, the elevator has to be used every day, this Mr. Su is also more hearted, knowing that the elevator has a problem and let his grandfather sit, holding is a fluke.
The safety education lecture hall has never been interrupted, but some people don't care about it, resulting in this kind of case from time to time.
A mother and daughter in Xi'an who are over the age of sixties, because of the carelessness of the two, they are facing the difficulty of life and death.
It happened in July 2020, when it was a scorching summer, the two old people were also old, and they wanted to take a bath and sleep in the summer, who knew that when they were taking the elevator upstairs, the elevator suddenly failed, and they stopped motionless on the second floor, the door could not be opened, and the buttons did not work.
The other members of the family could only come back once a week because of work, and the two old men couldn't think of any good way for a while, so they had to save themselves in order to survive.
The old mother smashed the lights on the elevator to let the air circulate, and in order to survive, the two had to drink each other's urine to ensure that they did not become dehydrated.
After four days and three nights of waiting, the rest of the family finally returned, and found the anomaly and called for firefighters to break the elevator and rescue the two men.
Neither Mr. Su nor the mother and daughter did not check the elevator on time, which is why such a tragedy was caused.
epilogue
As a special means of riding, the safety of the elevator is directly related to the safety of our lives, so both manufacturers and users must actively maintain and carry out daily inspections.
When taking a private elevator, you should enhance your safety awareness and follow the relevant regulations of the elevator to avoid tragedy.
