Proof? And even if you have one example, did they die? And she every one you provide, how many have died from falling.... Hundreds. So you may have found one example but no, your aren't more likely to die from shooting through a roof
Legally not allowed to share details about it. For cable elevators it's still mandatory to have lots of security measurements in case of a fall but way less in case of shooting upwards.
I think the logic here is that there are a series of fail safes to slow an elevator that's falling but their arent any that slow an elevator that shoots upwards.
You should give it a try
What exactly are you suggesting?
100% incorrect
All elevators have brakes going down. Fewer have them going up.
Zero have enough force to go through a roof
None have enough force to put a car through a roof.
It already happened. Counterweight was heavier than person+cabin. Weight went down and elevator shot through the roof.

Nah that would be a very mild impact with the roof, pretty sure it wouldn't even break it.
The fact is, that elevators have very secure brakes going down but less than half have those for going up.
Look it up, it happens.

Willy wonka style
Not.. entirely.. Still love that elevator!
You're * not it's.
And yeah, you're correct.
How often do elevators fly through the roof?
Our company knows 3 accidents in Europe. Can't give you a total though!
