I think you need to stop the elevator, there is no clear stopping criteria in the rule. So if you don't stop it until it finally fails and breaks with items dropping off the platform, you should get no points for the task.
It should be easy to stop the task, get one of the contact switch with 3 terminals that can be configured to be either normally on or off.
