Elevators are very common in people's daily life, and now not only shopping malls and communities have elevators, but also supermarkets and restaurants have installed elevators. Although the elevator is indeed relatively fast, and it is very trouble-free, but it does have a lot of safety problems, every safety problem can cause huge accidents, so the relevant personnel must be regularly overhauled in order to avoid this kind of accidents!

You really have to be careful every step of the way, and recently there was a very worrying escalator accident in a supermarket on Xiaotang Road in Fengxian District, Shanghai.
The cause of the incident is this: on this afternoon, a woman in her thirties came to a supermarket to shop, and when she was on the escalator, she was unfortunately swept into the escalator, and in an instant, her body was swallowed by the elevator from the waist down!
After the consumer next to him saw the accident, he did not dare to act rashly, and quickly dialed the local 119 to request professional rescue! In less than 20 minutes, the firefighters rushed to the scene, but because the internal structure of the elevator is very complicated, not professionals do not understand these, so the firefighters can not rescue the woman in the first time!
Under the guidance of the escalator maintenance personnel, the firefighters first used a screwdriver to remove the movable panel of the escalator, and then used an electric expander and a hydraulic strut to expand the stuck part. After more than 30 minutes of intense rescue, the trapped woman's waist down was successfully rescued and sent to the hospital for further treatment.
According to the description of witnesses at the scene, the woman was standing on the escalator as usual, when suddenly the escalator malfunctioned, revealing an opening, and the woman's lower body was directly involved in the escalator. After the incident, the surrounding people also called the police and asked for help as soon as possible. It didn't take long for fire and rescue personnel to arrive at the scene and launch an emergency rescue for her.
At present, the hospital where she was treated said that the injured woman had successfully completed the operation and was not in danger of life.
However, her husband said that his wife is currently in a bad condition and may be at risk of amputation and infection, and needs further treatment and observation.
After the accident, the supermarket involved was suspended, after all, there was an accident, who will dare to take it in the future? The relevant departments have intervened in the investigation to investigate the cause of the accident one by one!
In fact, there have been a lot of elevator accidents in recent years, and in 2023, it was revealed that a child's finger was caught in the escalator, but fortunately, the firefighters rescued it in time to avoid the risk of amputation.
Secondly, a boy in Hebei Province was dishonest when he was riding the escalator, and he kept rubbing the gap next to him with his shoes, and finally got stuck. In the end, it was the firefighters who rescued them in time, otherwise the outcome would definitely be unimaginable!
No matter how many similar incidents have occurred, there are also potential safety hazards, so Xiaobian here once again reminds the general public that they must pay attention to safety when taking escalators, abide by relevant regulations, and avoid accidents.
Netizens also expressed their opinions on this matter.
"The safety performance of the elevator is too poor, and this supermarket doesn't check it?
"Needless to say, daily inspections, even the most basic daily inspections, this supermarket can't do it?
"This supermarket is finished, and it can't run, so I can't pay hundreds of thousands?"
"No need to ask, this must be the sole responsibility of the mall, when the accident occurred, the elevator was still running, and this supermarket couldn't run away!"
"It's really a flying disaster, I never know that tomorrow and the day of the accident will come first, so pay attention to safety!"
"Whether it's a straight ladder or an escalator, there are potential safety hazards, if you don't worry, take the stairs, after all, the stairs won't eat people!"
Finally, I would like to say that we must pay attention to safety when taking the escalator and don't do things that we shouldn't do. If you find that there is a potential safety hazard or malfunction of the escalator, you must tell the relevant departments in time to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again.
