For some reason, it reminded me of this episode of Rescue 911
quote:
Security camera footage has emerged of a mother saving her young son's life seconds before losing her own on an escalator in China.
The 30-second video begins innocently enough: As the escalator in a shopping mall almost reaches the top, a woman in a white shirt and black skirt lifts up her young son to get ready to step off.
But as she does, a metal panel suddenly collapses under her feet and she falls into the gap.
Struggling with only her upper body above the structure, the mother is seen pushing her son forward. The boy is quickly pulled to safety by a mall employee standing near the top of the escalator.
Two other mall employees try to drag the trapped woman out -- but within a few seconds she disappears through the hole, into the escalator shaft.
Despite a four-hour rescue operation at the upscale AZG Mall in central China, firefighters declared the woman dead when they finally cut the escalator open and found her body Sunday afternoon, state media reported.

There's not a year that goes by, not a year, that I don't read 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!

That escalated quickly.

Props to the lady who grabbed the girl and got her away so she didn't have to watch her mom being crushed to death.

WTF. 
That's beyond terrible.
Reminds me of that Doctor that got dismembered by the elevator in Houston(?) a decade ago or so. Just so many moving parts we take for granted.

Plate simply lacking the screws needed to be put back in place.

An emergency stop button would be clutch.

I believe he was decapitated. That's not horrible enough, somebody was in the elevator he was trying to get into. I don't recall if they were left with the body less head or headless body. Pick YOUR poison?
He was making rounds at the time. Autopsy showed he was drunk too. Like a 0.18??

That is just a crushing story.

Just saw this. Yikes. To think claustrophobic people take escalators for "safety" reasons.

Read through this thread while riding on an escalator

And everyone makes fun of me because I jump at the exit of the escalator....

The Chinese are self aware.
