Heh, yes, I know that this is an intentionally silly thumbnail image. I'm doing it as a small homage/joke with a nod to other youtubers who do this in their videos as you'll see in the story I tell here.
Don't let the elevator close behind you before you are sure of a exit!
I've had similar concerns about corporate offices where you need a badge to exit the elevator lobby, and if you dont have a badge you have to take the elevator back down... what about a fire?
