Are elevators able to drop floors?

For example, could an elevator go up to the 10th floor, then suddenly drop down to the ninth floor (think tower of terror)?

No. They might drop a foot or two but not usually a whole floor. The safety mechanism was designed in 1873 by Elisha Otis and his sons started the Otis elevator company.
