Providencia, Chile — A man was seriously injured Friday when a malfunctioning elevator rose more than 30 floors in 15 seconds.
The surveillance video shows José Vergara Acevedo, 31, entering the elevator on the first floor of a building at Bustamante Community Park in Providencia, Fox News reports.
He is shown desperately pushing buttons to try to stop it, before it slams into the building’s roof. The elevator remained at the top floor, and responders rescued him. He suffered head and leg injuries, and is in stable condition
