So we have escalators in our store and i have ranted about peoples misuse of them before. (carts and such) but yesterday was the SCARIEST moment i have seen on one.
As i was going down the down escalator i hear a child scream from the upstairs one. I look over and there is a child on the wrong side of the elevator going up!
Basically he was on the outside of the escalator holding onto the side rail as it was moving up and he kept on moving up. He had about half a foot of room on the ledge he was on and was about 3M from the top where he had NO room to move and would have undoubtedly fallen. This child was probably about 4.
Fortunatly a co-worker was going up the up escalator behind and pulled the child onto the escalator and pretty much saved his life.
The mother through all of this? Saw the child go up and told him 'I told you not to play there.' and moved on.
