It's very similar to the death (Nov, 2011?) at Cal State Long Beach, where the elevator was moving with the doors open, during a rescue attempt. This event could easily have ended the same, or worse.

Greenpants- When you say "gate switch monitor", I assume you are not talking only about standard door lock contact monitoring, but rather, a special gate switch monitoring device, that you hang on the controller during a rescue? Like a meter, or a light of some kind?
