Lift hoax scares office workers

A new advertisement tricks lift users into thinking they are about to plummet to their deaths.

South Korean company LG created the optical illusion to show off the quality of their new screens.

Technicians are shown installing a grid of new IPS monitors on the floor of the lift, in an office block.

Unsuspecting people are then shown using the lift - as the lights darken and the floor appears to fall away, revealing the shaft below.

 

what do you think?

Very strange. All the males seemed to instantly grab the handrails yet all the females suddenly went away from the handrails and acted as though they'd prefer to hold onto nothing.
