~150 feet seems a lot.

I know nothing about elevators, but from all the documentaries explaining their safety systems give the imression that the emergency breaks kick in nearly immediately - not 15 stories later, which is frighteningly long - and would have be death if the elevator had been on say the 14th floor instead of the 30th.
