The door was located on the sixth floor of a seven story industrial complex building. When he did so, the elevator cab came down from the seventh floor on its way to the first floor, traveling at a rated travel distance of 150 ft per minute. It passed Employee #1 with his head still in the shaft and decapitated him.
