Lemme say it louder for you people in the back.

ESCALATORS ARE FUCKING DANGEROUS. DON'T FUCK AROUND ON THEM.

People in the industry call them meat grinders for a reason.

Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don’t hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent – I don’t care which one – but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.

My guess is escalator maintenance is a specialized field similar to what exists with elevators.

I always do a quick visual check of my shoes and the escalator before getting onto one

To be fair, the safety standards in China are very low. American/European escalators are more likely to be better maintained

Can someone tell me what happens in this video? I hate watching gore but the clickbait-style comment has me intrigued.
