Elevator shaft tolerance should not be man size

Hello MR SG, A good lift design SHOULD NOT REPEAT SHOULD NOT HAVE gap (meaning big enough for a man to fall through five floors down) does not require kind of tolerances. If it had it


12 hrs ago (04:46 AM)What one fails to understand is how or why should there be such a big gap enough for a man to fall through ? Is it not a design flaw? If such a big clearance is necessary at all for the proper fucntioning, it should be at the back of the lift totally inaccessible to the passengers.
