落下エレベーターの対処法
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello.
All right. This one then.
えーと。
Okay.
That one.
トモムさん?
トモムさん?
トモムさん?
Okay.
ケビンさん、山ちゃん、こんにちは。
こんにちは。
通勤のドライブ中に楽しく聞いています。
さて、突然ですが、
エレベーター閉じ込めの経験
人は4%の確率でエレベーター内に閉じ込められるそうです。
私はアメリカ留学中に住んでいた学生寮で閉じ込められたことがあります。
ちょうどサンクスギビングの休暇中でエレベーター内のボタンを押してもしばらく反応なくし、
必死にボタンを押し続けようやく通じたのはなんとその町の消防署。
最終的に消防士にドラマチックに救出されました。
二人はエレベーターに閉じ込められたことはありますが、
また確率4%の危機一髪的な経験をされたことはありますが、
話題にしていただけたら嬉しいです。これからも応援しています。
All right.
Have you?
No.
No? Okay.
Have you?
No.
生存戦略の議論
What would you do?
What would you do?
If I were locked down?
Yeah.
Locked into the...
This is your moment.
This is your moment, man.
Like, you have to choose the right steps to survive.
How?
What would you do?
I'd just push the button.
What button?
The emergency button, you know?
The emergency button? Okay.
Yeah.
If that doesn't work, you mean?
You're talking about?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If that doesn't work...
And you're scared that it might fall off.
Okay, yeah.
If I were in a skytree or somewhere,
I know I'm at like 200 meters high from the ground.
Think about this.
You're in a building, a 30-floor building.
The reason why the elevator stopped is because there was a fire on the 30th level.
And it's going to come down.
And you know that, oh, maybe the fire might catch the ropes of the elevator.
And it might...
You might immediately just free fall dead onto the ground.
Yeah.
So it's a matter of time.
Wow.
What would you do?
So, I mean, out of all the safety automations and everything,
well, of course, if it was like a reality,
it just automatically stopped to the nearest floor.
Yeah.
But if it doesn't...
If that does not work.
If everything doesn't work...
It somehow did not work.
Yeah.
In the ultimate situation, what I would probably do is just try to open the ceiling.
Ceiling?
Ceiling of the elevator.
And just go up on the elevator, the box.
Yeah.
And then do this.
Like a spy agent?
Yeah.
And prepare for the fall.
The drop?
Yeah.
That's, I guess...
Why would you wait on the top?
Why not wait inside?
Because you can possibly jump from the top.
What do you mean?
What the fuck do you mean?
When it falls, you can jump from the box.
And then you can possibly safely land.
But you can do that inside too.
No.
If you have the ceilings, you can like this and you hit the head and you're dead.
I don't know about that.
I don't know about that.
No, no, no.
Because can you jump and then hit the ceiling when it's not moving at all?
You can't, right?
No.
I'm talking when it fall down and hit the ground.
Uh-huh.
If it doesn't move, I just stay inside.
Okay.
But preparing for the falling situation.
Okay.
And the box itself, for example, like falling from the 200 meters.
Yeah, sure.
And then like that.
And I'm here.
Okay.
And then the moment it hits the ground, I jump it.
Okay.
And then just like that.
And then so I kill the speed.
You kill the speed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I get what you're saying.
Like that.
It's my plan.
Genius.
落下エレベーターの生存戦略
Genius motherfucker right here.
Genius.
If anything works fine, like if any of those like in the ultimate situation and I'm elevator
is falling down.
Yeah.
And there's nothing I can do.
I would do that.
But I have several questions.
I think you're a genius, but I have several questions still.
Yeah.
Like respectfully.
Yeah.
I mean, I want to think about that.
Like I really want to think about that.
But I have questions.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Really.
Why not stay inside and do the same thing?
Because like it feels like a falling from this 30 floor.
Okay.
Do you know how fast is that?
Very fast.
Very fast.
Yeah.
You can just jump from that.
I mean, I know it's out of the law of physics, but I want to go higher as possible.
So you want to go, you want to jump higher than the ceiling.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To even more cancel out.
Yes.
The impact when it hits the ground.
Because I need to cancel the speed itself.
I see.
So possibly, ideally.
Ideally.
Ideally, this elevator start falling down.
Okay.
And then the moment it hits the ground.
Okay.
I can jump like, let's say like 30 meters higher.
I can kill the whole speed.
Okay.
Yes.
Yes.
And then.
You'd have jets.
Yeah.
On the back of your shoes.
I'm jumping from the moving ground.
But if you look at me from the outside, I'm not moving.
Okay.
I see.
I see.
I see.
You know what I'm saying?
Genius.
Genius.
I have a question, though.
Yeah, go ahead.
Respectfully.
Yeah.
How the fuck do you know when to jump?
Like, you can't see the ground, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
How do you know when the capsule is getting closer to the impact?
Great question.
Because ideally, you'd want to jump right before the impact.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How do you know when to jump?
It's just instinct.
Your animal instincts will tell you, we're getting closer to the ground level.
Right.
Now jump!
Yeah.
Because, like, ideally, the moment it touches the ground.
Right?
But I know it's difficult.
Okay.
But if you jump, like, still you have, like, 20 meters, and you jump, and you keep it.
And then after that, you're going to fall.
Okay.
So that's it.
That's you have to use your instinct.
I see.
Like the sixth sense.
I see.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, I think, yeah.
I mean, I think you're a genius.
I think you're an absolute genius for thinking about that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's that ultimate thing that I would do.
Yes.
Listening to your solution.
Yeah.
How about this?
Okay.
My plan is, I would open the ceiling.
Okay.
Okay.
And then I would, okay, this is a little bit hard to explain.
Okay.
I would grab the layer.
I would grab the ceiling.
Okay.
And then I would sort of do this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, like a pull-up.
Yeah.
So this is the ceiling, and your head is like...
Yeah.
So your head is just above the ceiling, and the rest of your body is just floating.
Okay.
Okay.
衝撃を和らげる方法
And you're only supporting it with your arm strength.
Yeah.
Okay.
Keeping that completely all the way until the impact point.
Oh.
Okay.
Here's why.
Okay.
Okay.
When you do that, you can cushion the impact with your muscle.
Yeah.
You get what I'm saying?
Yeah.
You can sort of soften your impact.
By using your arms.
Yeah.
So the impact would go onto pulling down, right?
But you can give it an opposite motion with your muscle.
Yeah.
True.
And I know I'm not going to win, but at least I have this arm sort of muscle to sort of fight
back.
Yeah.
And then ultimately, I will lose, and I will fall off to the ground.
Yeah.
But at least the impact has been deducted by this muscle right here.
This fighting back motion of...
How about that?
Yeah, that's great.
That's genius.
Genius, right?
You can at least soften the impact.
I can soften the impact, yes.
For sure.
Yeah.
And right, I don't even have to time myself.
I don't even have to choose the right timing.
I just have to keep holding on to it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
True.
Good too, right?
This is also good, right?
Only one problem of my solution was the timing.
Ah, okay.
True.
I just have to rely on my instinct, and that's the only one problem, right?
Right, right.
So your way, you don't have to think about the timings.
Yeah, yeah.
You can just...
Absolutely.
From the beginning, you're holding back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's true.
Wait, I have a better...
You know what?
I thought of a better one.
Okay.
Why don't we, instead of holding it with your arm, just use the legs?
You know when...
You know in Tsuribo?
Tsuribo?
Tsuribo?
Not again.
In elementary school...
Tetsubo?
Tetsubo, yeah.
Tetsubo.
You know that trick where you use your leg and then you bend it?
Yeah, you hang it like that.
You hang your body with the pole.
Yeah.
By bending your knees.
You know that trick, right?
Yeah, I know.
Why don't we do that on the ceiling of the elevator?
Oh, you do this like that.
Yeah, so it's not a pole.
It is a surface.
So what you do, you can only bend it to 90 degrees.
Yeah.
But the whole impact is going to go on your legs, right?
It's not going to hit your head.
It's not going to hit your body or anything.
It's just the impact is completely on the leg, which is very strong.
Oh, true.
So like...
Because legs are stronger than arms.
Legs are stronger than the arms.
Yeah.
Right.
So...
True.
So you'd be upside down, but like...
Yeah.
The whole impact is going to go on your...
True.
Stomomo.
Oh, yeah, true.
Right?
And you soften the impact by legs.
Yes.
And you can use your arms.
You can stretch your arms downwards and then have it be ready for the actual impact on the
ground.
Oh.
That's a genius.
That's a genius.
There we go.
Got it.
Give that to the government.
Got it.
Yeah.
Survivals.
You write it in manuals and put it in...
Yeah, yeah.
Survivors right here.
Actual survivors.
Yes.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you for listening, guys.
Did it.
Yes.
