On June 11 in Chongqing, southern China, a surveillance footage captured a dramatic incident where a young boy experienced a sudden elevator malfunction, plunging from the 9th floor to the basement level 3. Remarkably, the boy remained composed and implemented effective self-rescue measures.

Upon the elevator's failure, the boy quickly pressed the emergency call button, alerting external responders. He then illuminated all floor buttons, a move that could potentially slow the descent or stop the elevator at a mid-point. Additionally, he adopted a semi-crouched position, holding onto the handrails to lower his center of gravity and minimize potential injuries during the fall.

Thanks to his quick thinking and actions, the boy safely exited the elevator. Once out, he even warned other passersby about the elevator’s malfunction.

The boy’s mother reported that he was deeply shaken and cried upon arriving home, but she expressed immense pride in her son’s calmness and bravery during the crisis.

近日，一起电梯故障事件在重庆引发关注。一名小男孩在电梯突然下坠时的冷静自救行为，被赞誉为“教科书式自救”，不仅成功保护了自己，也为公众提供了宝贵的应急自救范例。

监控画面显示，小男孩独自乘坐电梯时，电梯突然发生故障，从9楼下坠至负3楼。面对这突如其来的危机，小男孩并未惊慌失措，而是迅速采取了自救措施。

首先，他按下了电梯内的紧急呼叫按钮，及时向外界发出了求助信号。紧接着，他按亮了电梯内的所有楼层按钮，这一举动可能有助于减缓电梯的下坠速度，或者使电梯在某一层停下。最后，他采取了半蹲姿势，双手紧紧抓住扶手，以降低重心，减少在坠落过程中可能受到的伤害。

最终，小男孩成功自救，平安地走出了电梯。他在脱离危险后，还不忘提醒其他路人注意电梯的故障情况。

小男孩的母亲表示，孩子回家后因为受到惊吓而大哭起来，但她也为孩子的冷静和勇敢感到骄傲。
