Default Escalator Injuries

While most people go up and down without a problem, there were approximately 11,000 escalator related injuries last year.

10 percent of accidents occur when hands, feet or shoes are trapped in escalators. Soft sided shoes are the most likely to get stuck. Clogs and slides are particularly prone.

I worked with a lady that lost her balance on an escalator, it took her a couple of months to recover from the
injuries.
