This day in history: On this day in 2003, Hitoshi Nikaidoh, a doctor in Houston, Texas, was killed after his head was trapped in elevator doors at the hospital where he worked. He was partially decapitated as the elevator ascended, and he also sustained injuries to his ribs and spine.
"An estimated 50 people die from elevator-related accidents annually in the United States. These fatalities can include falls due to malfunctioning doors or cages to entrapment between two floors caused by failure of the car’s emergency brake system." Source
There are approximately 10,000 elevator injuries every year in the USA.
