        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.

              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:

                  ummm..... actually happened to me hor. Though not a tube dress. Wore a long dress for a more formal occasion and the escalator decided to have a taste of the hem of my dress. Luckily I managed to pull it out without it getting jammed but the part that was eaten was covered in grease. Ran to the nearest boutique and got another dress. This time short one.

                    He hee… … Really got to keep an eye on the kids on escalator… .

                    Once I got hold of a tumbling child on the escalator despite him travelling with parent and maid. If I missed grabbing him then he would be doing the Jackie Chan stunt all the way down cause it was a quiet morning…
                    I was stunned for a while after the incident.
