Abstract

We describe a case study of a civil suit involving an elevator incident causing serious injury to a 5-year-old male. We illustrate how scientific principles and measurements of conspicuity, cognitive development and parental supervision inform a human factors analysis of the contributing issues of an unusual incident sequence.
