So my Appendix Quarter, Trickster (Smashing Trick Daddy) is an ex-racehorse and I'm trying to find him a good bit I tried a full cheek but he was petrified to move forward i'm using a loose ring now and he pulls through it. DO NOT SAY TRY A BITLESS NO!!!! My friend has a thoroughbred Ex-racehorse and she tried that when she was cantering she lost her stirrup, fell, and the bridle came off. So don't say use that cause its not happening what so ever. What bit should I use the loose ring will be fine for a few more weeks because he got kicked and is getting over being lame but once he's back to his speed demon self he's going to need a change soon cause he's going to be a lesson horse and I don't need him taking off with people.
No, elevators are run by electrical power. If a fire burns through the electrical wiring, the elevator will become stuck. Secondly, the elevator shaft will act as a chimney, delivering air to a fire, and allowing smoke from the fire to fill the space, thus possibly killing the people stuck on the elevator.
Yes elevators have special heat sensors. The bottom of an elevator shaft is heated depending on which floor you need to go. If you are on 100 and need to get to the lobby, the bottom heats up, atrackting the elevator down. Sooo if there is a fire, the elevator will be attracked to the heat. The elevator will try and move closest to the heat.. and the cord may melt. If the cord melts, the elevator will fall, and down will come baby basket and all.
Smoke can rise during a fire directly into the elevator shaft. Most elevator shafts are nowhere nearly as well fire-protected as the emergency stairwell. So you could asphyxiate there. Fire can also cause a power outage and you could be trapped in the elevator during the fire. If everyone used the elevator, there would be a massive jamup of people. It would stop on every floor and soon no one else would be able to get on, everyone panicking, etc. The elevator doors could also open on the floor where the fire is!
It's either failed or it's reached the end of its useful life (they're normally only good for 8-10 years). Replace it.
Wow a lot of people tackled this question and there are alot of good answers! It is true that if the power goes out you could get trapped, smoke can enter the elevator chamber, most newer elevators do have a recall feature, and the best policy is to always use the stairs! Basically, the problem with older elevators is they have a nasty habit of going to the floor with the fire. This is because the heat from the fire has been known to short out the call system wiring and the elevator controller interprets it the same as someone hitting the button. So if you are riding in the elevator, the dang thing may deliver you right to the floor with the fire! So in a sense, yeah, they can respond to heat, if it's hot enough to screw up the controls. Newer elevators are usually connected to the building's fire alarm system and/or a series of smoke detectors outside the elevator shaft. In the event of a fire, the system overrides all call buttons and immediately takes the car to a pre-designated floor (generally the lowest level unless that's the floor the fire was detected on.) The cars can then only be used until the alarm system is reset or the system is overridden with a key. (Firefigters can use this feature. When in override mode, the controller only responds to manual controls from inside the car.) I hope this answers your question.
