It may be related to the gap in the supermarket escalator
But escalator safety has once again attracted public attention
Why do escalators love to "bite" people?
What to do in case of danger?
↓ ↓ ↓
What does an escalator "bite"?
- Cave shoes
Cave shoes are the "standard" for many people in summer, but when you are not careful when you take the escalator, you will become a "dangerous person".
Slippers made of resin are soft and easy to get caught in crevices and stretch, plus it is not slippery, so it is difficult to pull out once it is rolled in.
- hand
The armrests have handrail slots and large gaps at the ends. If you don't let go at the end, your hand can easily get caught up in the escalator.
- skirt
There are also gaps between the comb bands, apron panels, and rungs, which are especially fond of "eating" skirts. When riding the escalator, do not let the skirt close to the elevator gap.
In case of escalator accidents, keep in mind "press the call"
- Press: Emergency brake button
The emergency brake button is usually located at both ends of the escalator, often near the pedal, under the handrail side, etc., and some long-distance escalators are also set in the middle, usually a red (occasionally yellow) round button.
- Whew: Shout for help and beware of falling
If clothing, heels, handbags and other items are clamped, shout for help, let the person close to the emergency button press the emergency button, and the escalator will automatically stop after cushioning dozens of centimeters.
If you can't press the stop button at the first time, while shouting for help, hold on to the handrail tightly and lift your foot so that the person will move along the guardrail of the escalator to avoid falling.
- Protection: Protects the head in the event of a fall
When falling, try to curl up into a ball, cross your hands on your neck and the back of your head, and protect your temples with your arms to prevent fatal injuries from being overlayed.
