Sir Stirling Moss and his carbon fiber elevator – Click above to watch video after the jump<\/a><\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

Reports are flooding our inbox this morning that Sir Stirling Moss, one of the most decorated drivers in all of motorsport, was injured falling down a lift shaft in his London home. Moss reportedly fell three floors down the shaft when the doors opened while the lift itself was still one floor above. The 80-year-old racing legend is said to have broken both ankles and four bones in his feet, though he is OK and expected to recover from his injuries in about six weeks.<\/p>\n

Now, you may be wondering why Moss has a lift in his home. Remember, “lift” in the UK means “elevator” in the U.S., and the elevator in Moss’ home is unlike any other. Let us take you back to June 2009. That month we reported about Moss’ swank London home<\/a> that’s outfitted with such crazy contraptions as a giant tray that lowers from the ceiling to deliver dinner in front of the television, a remote-controlled jacuzzi tub and an automated inbox\/outbox in his office. The report’s real gem, however, was Moss’ carbon fiber elevator that was designed especially for him by the Williams F1 team at the time.<\/p>\n

While no reports of the accident mention anything about a carbon fiber elev… err, lift, being what Moss took his tumble down, we can’t imagine he has two<\/em> lifts in his house. Follow the jump<\/a> for video of the carbon fiber elev… dammit… lift in action, and beware F1 teams bearing gifts.<\/p>\n
