You're right - the elevator produces lift (same direction as the wings) at
low speeds, not at high speeds. Got mixed up.

That doesn't make sense to me. At high speeds, the elevator produces

lift
so
in case of structural failure, the bits would go upwards.

Bert,

The elevator does produce lift, but in the opposite direction as the wings
(most of the time anyway).
