I still can't visualise how could any shoe get caught by the escalator. :?

Hard for me to imagine too.... If only someone has ever captured it on video.....

I notice, the escalators at Vivo is faster than other shopping malls escalators. I always have to pay extra attention when taking escalators there. Can the accident due to the speed?

[tankee]

faster?


The impression I have is only those escalators at MRT stations are generally faster than normal.

Typically all the Loooooooooooooooog escalators will be faster.

In Vivo I have seen a long dress been 'makan' by the escalator. Heng they manage to stop the escalator and it took a while to come out.. ..

Everyone stopped to look cause it was a tube dress

I heard about Crocs not being too safe, worse is when parents buy bigger sizes that does not fit for the kids.

Sorry but this is alittle amusing.... So was the lady having a tug of war with the escalator? In situation like that, it's probably good to have a dress that breaks easily.

Even my DH and DS want to 'see',so unglam :faint:

I think a precautionary measure is to ensure the child stands with the heel (back of foot) on the edge of the escalator step or centre of the step, and never stand with toes too far in towards the inner edge where two escalator steps meet and "collapses" in.


There is a tendency for parents to ask their kids to stand with their feet all the way in lest they fall backwards when the escalator is moving… Which I think there is a greater danger from doing so.

:rotflmao: I know it's bad but I visualise that it can be very amusing. Esp a tube dress wearer. It's like ppl are like what if the tube got pulled down. :rotflmao:
