What happens when you mix people with mobility difficulties (ex: people who can't climb stairs) with a broken elevator?

What happens when you mix people with little children who can't climb stairs with a broken elevator?

What happens when you mix the UPS or FedEx delivery person with a broken elevator?

What happens when you mix people with Christmas trees with a broken elevator?

a verifiable electronic signature satisfies any requirements for signatures on documents.
