I’m surprised this video has not been taken down. Doing something like this without the proper clearances makes the rest of us look bad. There is a popular video that addresses a different KZitemr who illegally surfed on elevators.

OH MY GOODNESS, first off, that would probably be the scariest lift to surf on especially when it's at normal moving speed + there's not much room to be on for the glass lifts. Secondly, I bet people seeing you on the top would probably confuse them

In college, while living in the 6-story dorm the first semester, I discovered elevator surfing! Once I figured out there was enough clearance on top when the elevator was on 6, I was off to the races. Not the safest hobby, but it made those long weekends a little more interesting! I remember climbing the shaft from the 2nd floor to the 6th. There were these metal guide brackets that allowed for this. My dumbest moment came when I decided one time while standing on the inside ledge of floor 4, to hop onto the roof of the elevator as it approached. It was like getting hit by a truck. Being 18 and resilient, I shook it off. There were passengers aboard at the time. I'm sure they wondered what that loud thump was. These cars did not have cables on top. They were 6-story tall hydraulic lift elevators.

Please do not attempt something like this again without training and permission. There are signs that was unauthorized in this video. You are never supposed ride on top of an elevator at full speed. Thats what the inspection mode is for. Unauthorized things like this makes the rest of us in the community look bad.

The only danger here is if someone decides to go all the way up. How much clearance is there between the elevator and the shaft ceiling?

Ada requires a minimum of 3.5 feet from the top of the door to the roof of the shaft also, keep in mind that in most of these shafts go like 5 stories above. Also the elevators that go all the way up like car f to like floor 49 umm the machine room is on 51

Access to these car tops are extremely difficult. He has to be a technician. I worked on these elevators since 1983 . He accessed a low rise inner core in the beginning and a High Rise Looks like Car B on the high speed , also had to have a person inside pushing call buttons for car to run high speed. If car is on car top control Car will not run from Inside . Car top control is gained thru two separate keyed switches!
