Romeo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 escalator, claims victim in China. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-33672037 I have a deep trust of moving metal stairs. Anyone on P&B been sucked into one of these and killed, any escalator near misses or stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Read that earlier, basically it's falling in to a mincer feet first. It'll take a bit of cleaning I expect. She didn't Stannah chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl. Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I just want to pick up on this line: "...an escalator in Shanghai that suddenly reversed direction in 2014, injuring 13 people..." Still trying to wrap my head around that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdrie Onions Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Remember on a subcrawl once we nearly got kicked off cause one of my mates stood at the front of one we were all going down and people got crushed in between us before everyone spilled out at the front when he gave way, good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Did the woman get sucked into the mechanism then or did she just fall? From looking at the video it seemed like she was getting pulled under but not sure what it would have been that killed her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I walked down an escalator when it was turned off the other week. A rather odd sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Reminds me my mate and occasional poster on here, Airdrieping, fell in to one (an escalator not a woman) nearly lost his arm. Still got bad scarring. He's got bad scarring everywhere right enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold Rover Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I walked down an escalator when it was turned off the other week. A rather odd sensation. I trust it was the escalator which, were it operating, was for descent? Anything else would be improper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordecai Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I got really confused by folk freaking out at this on the tube, they're just stairs m8. They're weird stairs though...it feels like there's added gravity. My shoelace once got sucked under the escalator, managed to pull it out, but it was ruined.
