I thought the same thing. I lived in a crappy building in college where the elevator broke all of the time. I just used the stairs, but some people insisted on using the elevator. They would pull the doors open and climb out on a floor. Not only that, as a rock climber, what the hell are you going to do to help somebody? Set a rope at the top of the shaft somehow, rappel onto the elevator car, open the door, and give them a jumar? Or setup a haul system? Most casual rock climbers are not proficient at these things to the point where they should be attempting rescues.
