Those little teeth at the end of escalators that release the trollies on them.

I was always petrified of getting my shoe laces getting stuck in them. Even to this day I jump over them a little.

iirc at least one person has died from getting caught in escalator mechanisms, strangled by a scarf or something.

According to snopes (if you put any trust in them - though something like this is relatively politically neutral so it might be ok) some children have suffered foot injuries due to laces getting caught http://www.snopes.com/horrors/parental/escalator.asp Probably worth checking up on any sources they've cited, or do some research of your own to confirm it if it is a legitimate fear. Best to be informed about the facts.

WELL THANKS FOR THAT, IT MAKES ME FEEL A LOT BETTER ABOUT MY FEARS.
