If an elevator car or counterweight overtravels beyond the bottom or top floors-due to causes such as a snapped steel cable, insufficient traction or braking force, or a control system failure-the buffer acts much like a car airbag. It absorbs shock and decelerates the impact, preventing the elevator from crashing directly into the pit or striking the top of the shaft, thereby safeguarding both passengers and equipment.

While not used for routine stops, it serves as a critical safety safeguard in extreme situations.
