The opening is because they took the cover off to repair it. That’s not how it normally is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was going down why is the front of his shoe trapped. Was he standing backwards looking up? 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGS1244 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 It happens a lot in many countries where children are wearing plastic shoes. They think it is fun to rub there foot along the side of the escalator which heats and melts their shoes which then sticks to the tread. Seen it a number of times when I worked on escalators. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Maybe he thought the yellow lines along the sides are there for decoration, and not to warn people not to stand there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what cover would that be? The 'comb' is at the bottom of the escalator. That image appears to show treads before retraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a car accident the final position may not be indicative of initial position - he could well have been facing Forwards and the shoe snagged and twisted into that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Heathrow the the g-string bourgeois are stoped from using the travelators in their Havaianas before taking their flights to Magaluf ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That image appears to show treads before retraction. I was referring the cover at the side, the other commenter was saying how it’s full of stains too. The stains are just oil/grease. There is suppose to be another cover with a brush guard that they took off, hence you see the stains / grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
