webfact Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Man warns the public after getting his "Croc" sucked into travelator at Don Mueang airport Thai caption: Travelator in Don Muang Sanook reported that a Thai man had his footwear sucked into the bowels of a moving walkway after arriving at Don Mueang airport. He said it was lucky he was wearing a certain kind of shoes - he was able to slip one off easily and avoid serious injury. He was wearing Crocs. "Jump Dhanapat" had arrived back in Thailand with his family from a trip to Osaka just before 4 am on July 30th. Picture: Sanook Everything seemed normal until his shoe got sucked in though he was able to release his foot. An engineer found it in the workings of the machine - it was all ripped up. He said that the airport contacted him with an apology a week later but since then it has all gone quiet. He warned people about escalators not wearing Crocs.

PETERTHEEATER Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 No sympathy. If people are dumb enough to travel on moving machinery in flip-flops and the subject dreadful plastic <deleted>, they take the risk. Probably rides a motor cycle in flip-flops and with no helmet. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Classic Ray Posted August 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2019 The photo seems to show a broken yellow guard on the escalator. The guard is designed to prevent this very problem, but it depends on being well maintained, enough said. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't appreciate being called dumb.. You're an extremely critical individual. I'd be willing to bet that there are more "slip ons" being worn in most tropial airports than full cover shoes. There is no logical reason to not wear them. This is simply a failure of the airport for failing to maintain the equipment and the indiviual was not the least in fault, except for maybe failing to pay attention to the world around hin. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - one yellow guard has completely snapped off and others have quite a few teeth missing. Where are the "no win - no fee" injury lawyers when you need them ? ? ?

You are quite a nice fellow ,If he had normal laced up shoes on he maybe would have lost a few toes or maybe a foot. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 This is common knowledge about that type of shoe being sucked into escalators. Personally I have never owned a pair, but my kids like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
