This paper explains a safety system in the current elevators which would ensure that passengers are safe even if the rope of elevator cage breaks. Elevators are largely used to ease work of human being and reduce the time of traversing up and down a multi-story building. Hence it has become equipment of prime importance. The safety of people in the elevator thus brings us to the idea of developing a low-cost and simple mechanism which can be installed in every elevator ensuring rope breakage safety of the people.
