There are several reasons that a person may be afraid of elevators:
* They are claustrophobic, meaning they fear small, enclosed spaces. * The elevator cables will break and they will crash into the ground floor. * The elevator may contain lots of germs on the buttons - germ phobias.
* The elevator may lose power or become stuck between floors for hours. * Too many people on the elevator might be scary, and too compact for them. * They don't like many people in one enclosed space.
