    Do we know if the Russian chick died too?
    It says in the description of the video that she went to hospital with severe head and spinal injuries.

    I thought it seemed weird that everyone was more interested in the dumb waiter than in her. They pull her out and then all gather around it to have a look in and I kept wondering what they were looking at/doing.

    What is this video of a Russian chick and dumbwaiter you all are talking about? Did I miss something?

    Wow, that wasn't very smart of her to push the button before she was finished....

    Just came across this, so here it is...

    http://www.newser.com/story/199793/a...umbwaiter.html

    (Newser) – An autopsy finds that a waitress died of severe head injuries after getting her head caught in a dumbwaiter at a Wisconsin restaurant last week, police said yesterday. Fountain City Police Chief Jason Mork released the autopsy results for 21-year-old Brooke Baures, a senior and standout gymnast at Winona State University in Minnesota. Baures was working at a banquet on the second floor of WingDam Saloon and Grill when the accident happened Dec. 1. Based on witnesses' statements, police believe Baures was the only person who could have pressed the dumbwaiter's control button on the second floor and concluded no crime was committed in her death.

    The autopsy found "extensive destruction" of the brainstem and left side of the cerebellum and concluded she died of severe head trauma. Baures' head "was located almost entirely inside the cab of the elevator canted slightly to her right as the cab descended. When the roof of the cab passed the sill of the second floor access, Brooke sustained fatal crushing injuries to her brainstem and cerebellum," the report said. Anyone operating the dumbwaiter had only about five seconds before the interior of the cab disappeared below the sill, police said. The dumbwaiter has since been permanently removed. Federal and state regulators have launched separate investigations.
    It crushed her head.

    ...dumb decision is made right about 0:32.
    That is quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've ever seen anybody do.
