>I'm no elevator mechanic, but I think they have safety mechanisms in place so that doesn't happen.
they do; elevator brakes are "fail on" (meaning they need some outside input to NOT brake, so if they "fail" they clamp onto the rails and keep it in place) and elevators in general are counter-weighted so they don't move very much or at least don't instantly go into complete freefall if the brakes don't do anything.
