Question

If you fell 90ft while sitting down strapped in an elevator (think tower of terror ride) would you die when the elevator hit the floor? Would the power be enough? Not for school just curious

Answer 1

Probably not. The elevator has security system just like any device. It will automatically trigger breaks in case it detects some sort of free fall.

Person inside free falling elevator could experience 0G or no gravity effect something similar to what astronauts experience in earth's orbit.

The only damage that could happen to you is when the breaks are released you won't feel 0G anymore and fall about 4ft to the floor of the elevator.

Hope this helps.
