What Happens When Your Clothes Get Stuck in an Escalator

How to ride safely on escalators? What would happen if your shoelace or clothes got caught in an escalator? Are there any escalator safety tips? Imagine this. You’re standing on the subway escalator on your way up, engrossed in reading a book, and almost miss the step-off. You keep your balance. Something’s tugging at your right foot. You turn around, and it’s your worst nightmare: your shoelace got stuck in the escalator!

Or imagine you’re sitting on the steps (never do that, by the way) and wearing a loose shirt that’s not tucked into your pants. You wait until the escalator starts getting flat and only then stand up. Well, at least you try. When you do, you feel a powerful tug at your collar and lose your balance. The stairs have eaten the hem of your shirt and are quickly dragging you down. Let’s find out why these things happen.

So, guys, do you prefer shoes with shoelaces or velcro? :)

My shoe got caught in an escalator when I was a child. They were brand new shoes and a little big. I think that helped save my toes because the escalator chopped the toe of my shoe off. I still remember the horror on my aunt and my mom's faces.

Me: this will defiantly scare me
Also me: let’s watch it

Imagine you got stuck in an escalator and people walked over you on purpose. I mean, who does that?

My skirt got caught in the escalator and pulled my skirt off! I stepped out of it when I got to the bottom and the escalator stopped automatically when the skirt got stuck. It took 45 minutes for the engineer to arrive and remove my skirt! One of life’s embarrassing moments!

It happened to my brother, he was sitting down, and at the bottoms of the escalator his shorts got caught. It wouldn't stop and it continued to grind away at him. It didn't stop until someone pushed the emergency stop button. He had severe bruising.

I think that most escalators should be clear so that before stepping on you could see everything. It would be pretty cool

This reminds me of myself when I was a lil kid.I was always scared of that gap.I thought it would swallow me 😂😂

2:57 i guess im the only who always jump on that spot

[tiffanywashington]

I have NEVER trusted escalators. I will walk around until I locate the regular stairs instead. My fears were made even worse after watching Final Destination.

I remember when my mom was so worried when I play on the end of an escalator because I was trying to see my rubber shoes can handle the escalator
