Abstract

A new form of joyride, on top of an elevator as it moves up and down the elevator shaft, has surfaced on college campuses and in housing and apartment complexes with elevators. This practice is called “elevator surfing,” and an illustrative case is presented, which is believed to be the first such report in the medical literature.
