26 cheerleaders + elevator AUSTIN — Twenty-six teenage cheerleaders tried to cram themselves into an elevator at the University of Texas to see how many would fit, but then they got stuck and had to be rescued. One girl was treated and released at a hospital and two others were treated at the scene after the Tuesday night prank, officials said. The group of 14- to 17-year-olds were attending a cheerleading camp when they decided to stuff themselves into an elevator at Jester Residence Hall at UT. The elevator went down to the first floor but then the doors of the overloaded elevator wouldn't open, officials said. After a few panicked cell phone calls, police and firefighters were called to the scene and it took a repairman about 25 minutes to fix the door, police said. UT officials didn't think the prank was all that funny. "It's dangerous, actually," UT police spokeswoman Rhonda Weldon said. "They're lucky that that's all that happened."
What pgabs is neglecting to tell you is that THE THADEUS was seen in the elevator at the time of said decision to "stuff" it...
wow they must have never been to jester before. Those elevators are always breaking down and making weird sounds when there are less then 5 people in it.
Never mind the occupancy load warning. I mean, it's just a box suspended in mid air by some cables. What's the worst that could happen?
