They could also be referring to the time a woman threw her child clear from a failing elevator and then got promptly consumed. Happened in China.

beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 6 months agoThe scene you’re probably thinking of is from one of the Final Destination movies. Not sure I’d count those as the most solid of evidence.

A lot of people don’t! Escalators are big toothed conveyor belts, with a human-friendly box around it, basically. The mechanisms break down, and there’s a chance that box fails and you meet teeth.

Escalators are just repurposed meat grinders.

C. C I’m not sure what you’re talking about, I don’t watch those movies and the one I’m thinking about was from (iirc) an asian mall CCTV recording or something to that effect.

Yeah it was a Chinese woman and her child. I linked it further up, but from the sounds of it maybe don’t go looking for my link lol

As somone who has been on a broken escaltor that was not safe, the breaks can fail and then you have a big problem. Granted I’m not dead and didn’t lose any limbs but degloving is still not something I’d like to risk.
