It means that your fears are rational to an extent. They are complex moving machinery. Being more informed about them may help you to more safely use them in a way that is unlikely to cause you or anyone else harm. Just like I am terrified of having a car wreck, by knowing what sorts of things can happen under certain circumstances, by being more informed about the dangers, I can act to avoid or prevent them from occurring.

Edit: You're welcome, though. :D Happy to help!

You're right. But I will forever see them in my minds eye as a giant set of teeth ready to suck me in and eat me alive. I do notice a lot have anti jaming devices installed that stop the escalator if anything happens, and emergency off buttons.

Using the stairs is probably better exercise anyway (though maybe not so good for your knees... hmm).
