Hint
Reveal a hint
Press the elevator outward so it rubs against the walls around it.
Why It Works
A free-falling elevator has nothing to grip, so you create grip by widening it against the brick walls. The friction from the sides pressing on the walls slows it to a stop. Without that outward drag the elevator stays out of control.
