What distance do you travel in a typical elevator?

You really think getting stuck is the worst thing that can happen to you 
in an elevator?

Also think outside the box of technical problems. Terrorist attacks are 
probably included in the statistics of aircraft travel, so you should 
also include physical assaults in the risk assessment of traveling with 
elevators.


And if that doesn't prove me right, let's limit the argument to 
components of travel perpendicular to the gravitational field :-P
