Warning! I'm traumatized from watching this video! :( :(

Hmmm, other articles played up the fact that she saved her son.

[umgud]

I’ll pass and take your word for it.

Sucks to shop in Bejing!

Why would you watch the video in the first place? What is the point?

[roadcat]

It looked like they knew there was a maintenance issue, and two female employees were at the top as the woman and her child came up. The child's father was the smart one, staying at the bottom. It appears the woman stepped on the escalator despite a warning notice that it was being worked on.

Looks like negligence by the store, they should not have allowed anyone on it until fixed and tested. The top access plate was not properly secured. If true, it should have been roped off until secured.

In any case, a horrific video to watch as the poor woman was pulled into the machinery.

I’ve always been very skittish on escalators. My family laughs at me, but I don’t like them and avoid them if possible.

Poor woman, RIP, she saved her son, that was very good.

Don’t need to see.

[chris37]

Good God Almighty.

That is truly horrifying.

I think that i will take the stairs from now on.

[Husker24]

I don’t think it was too long ago a woman was decapitated by an elevator there.

[doorgunner69]

Being a somewhat exercise nut, I always take the stairs unless it is too hot and avoiding getting lathered up.

This emphasizes the wisdom of stairs over those damn escalators. Never did like that things even as a kid.

Why am I reminded of a meat grinder?

Sorry, could not resist, troglodyte that I am.

The thing is in China, they will probably wind up executing whomever they think was responsible.

[Jack Hydrazine]

It’s not every day that you see an escalator eat someone like that.

Kinda reminds me of this security cam video taken in a hotel in Taiwan or another Asian country. Some guy is riding one of those mobility carts and runs into the doors of the elevator several times. The doors finally give way and he goes down the elevator shaft.

It just ate her up. What kind of civil engineer would make a death trap like that?

[Fhios]

Looked fake to me. Not saying it is fake, I just don’t understand how the bottom door opened downward. Then the trash can in front of where the emergency off button would be?

Obama got stranded for a few hours on a stopped escalator.

[Secret Agent Man]

Planned Parenthood called dibs on her organs.

[EinNYC]

Wasn’t there a “stop” button at the head of the escalator that those 2 idiot attendants could have punched?

[Catmom]

Ever seen the video of the Chinese car crash test?

It’s horrific even with dummies inside instead of people.

[Verbosus]

I too will take your word for it that it is horrific.
I can’t stand to watch Obama, Boehner, Pelosi, etc on TV, much less this.
