At Capacity


We got on an elevator yesterday that had a maximum capacity of 6 people. That’s scary. Do they even make elevators like that anymore? And that capacity was probably set when people were thin. So yeah. It was an old elevator. We got on it. But it got me to thinking. When you ride in an elevator, do you look at the certificate that says when it was last inspected? You do that when the elevator is already running, don’t you? Yeah, I do that too. We all do… 

Can we get the capacity and the inspection certificate on the outside of the elevator so we know the elevator’s limitations before we get on it?  We need something to read while we’re waiting anyway…

Oh, and how about the elevators that measure capacity in total pounds? I hate having to ask everybody their weight and add it all up…
