Preface
An escalator accident in a supermarket is heart-wrenching! A woman accidentally fell into a high-speed escalator while shopping and suffered serious injuries. What caused this tragedy? Let's move on!
01. Elevator Horror
Everyone habitually uses various escalators and escalators in their daily lives, but few people are really aware of the potential safety hazards behind them. In fact, when these devices fail, the consequences are often devastating. A woman in Shanghai recently experienced this painful lesson firsthand.

Just a few days ago, the woman was doing her daily shopping in a supermarket. As she approached the escalator, she suddenly noticed a clear gap in the steps. Unexpectedly, the moment she stepped on the escalator, her entire lower body was directly swept into the constantly rotating escalator!
I saw that the woman's body was twisted into a ball in an instant, and her legs were almost torn. The pain was so intense that she let out a heart-rending scream, as if she were in hell. Seeing this, the surrounding passers-by exclaimed and reached out to help, but soon they had nothing to do but watch the terrifying scene in front of them.
At this critical moment of life and death, a man finally rushed forward and pressed the emergency stop button in time. Although this temporarily saved the woman's life, her lower body had been severely crushed and torn, and the injuries were horrific.
The unfortunate lady was quickly taken to the hospital for resuscitation. However, after an initial examination, doctors found that her injuries were far more serious than expected. It turned out that the woman's legs had been fractured completely open, and the muscles and skin were severely separated, and there was a risk of infection at any time. To make matters worse, doctors may even suspect that the limb may be at risk if the trauma is not treated sooner.
In this way, what was originally an ordinary shopping trip turned into a life-and-death rescue! The woman is now lying in the ICU ward, her husband waiting by her side with worry. We can't help but shudder!
02. On-site restoration
When the woman was in danger, the passers-by around reacted immediately. They immediately dialed the fire and rescue hotline and asked the fire brigade to come to the rescue. Soon, the firefighters rushed over like sharp swords and began a tense rescue operation.
However, when they arrived at the scene, they found that the rescue of the accident was far more difficult than they imagined. The woman's lower body was already trapped in the high-speed rotating escalator, as if she was being clung to by a giant beast, and she was completely unable to move. The firefighters realized that this was not a simple rescue mission and had to be carried out with caution and care.
So, under the guidance of professional maintenance personnel, they carefully began the long rescue process. For 30 minutes, the firefighters fought hard to finally free the unfortunate lady from the clutches of the escalator.
However, when the woman was finally rescued, it was discovered that her injuries were too severe. It turned out that her legs had been fractured completely open, and her muscles and skin had been torn and separated. Doctors are concerned that such a traumatic injury, if infected, is very likely to lead to amputation.
03. Accident Reflection
When the cause of the accident is carefully investigated, people can't help but find that the accident actually exposed a major loophole in the safety management of the supermarket.
It turned out that this escalator had such a big safety hazard, and the whole pedal was directly missing, but it was still put into use. This is not only a violation of relevant safety regulations, but also a serious disregard for the safety of customers' lives. Netizens expressed their anger, believing that the supermarket should take due responsibility in this matter.
"Who let them have their equipment broken and don't care, they have to wait for something to happen? Now it's okay, a woman almost died, this is a tragedy within a tragedy!"
"This lady is completely wronged! She just went to the supermarket to shop, who would have thought that such an accident would happen? The supermarket must be held responsible!"
Indeed, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, supermarkets, as operators of public places, should bear the obligation to protect the lives and safety of customers. They should regularly inspect and maintain facilities to ensure that everything is working properly, rather than waiting for a major safety hazard to arise before rushing to remediate it.
More importantly, the accident not only brought a huge financial burden and psychological trauma to the family, but also once again aroused widespread concern from all walks of life about the safety management of public places. We can't help but wonder if there are some potential hidden dangers that have been overlooked in the convenient life of modern society.
Perhaps, this painful lesson is a warning that each of us should take as a warning. We must always be vigilant and not take our daily lives lightly. At the same time, relevant departments and enterprises must also earnestly fulfill their responsibilities for safety and security, and create a safer and more secure living environment for the masses.
Only in this way can we truly learn from this tragedy and avoid the same tragedy from happening again. It is my sincere hope that this unfortunate lady will recover soon and embrace a bright future again.
