The scariest thing I know about elevators is that there are many safety features that deal with it going down. It's practically unfeasible for it to fall, but there are no safety features that would counteract the elevator going up way too fast if the motor decides to do crack.

In short, I'm not worried about dropping and smooshing, I'm worried about being yeeted from the building upward via elevator
