How come I always see people taking strollers on escalators with their infants/children in them when there are signs two or three places stating that it is not permitted? I could understand if all those people where illiterate or the signs were only in one language but the signs show pictures as warnings. I never see people trying to push up wheelchairs with someone in them mostly only strollers. I just don't understand it with all the people that die in escalators and the children that get killed or injured from the parents constantly doing exactly this why do they still insist on trying it and "hoping for the best" especially when there is an elevator a few steps away. It just doesn't seem like something I would take a chance on, even if it wasn't for all of the people that get shredded in the escalators but for the signs alone, obviously they have the sign for just that reason, I just don't understand how so many people can do something so harmful.

Sorry to go on, it's just that I have seen the effects of what happened to a few people personally and have witnessed a few "incidents" and it really bothers me how people continue to keep on doing it.

Because everyone is in a hurry to get where they're going, they don't pay any attention to the dangers they may put them or their children in.

Well, I would say that it has to do with the whole world being in this HURRY HURRY mode. Nobody wants to take the time to wait in line for the elevator. Those are the people though, who after something bad happens stand there saying..."I didn't think it would ever happen to us!" But by then, it is already too late.

Sometimes it is easy to see the escalators at once than look for elevators. Even if they know that it could put the child in danger. There are times also. they do not read and do not care.

Because some people are too damn lazy to find an elevator or to take the kid out of the stroller and carry them!

a million.conceal one area of a vibrant 0.5-dollar with large glue or 5 minute epoxy, and glue it to the floor. heavily conceal it which comprise your shoe so noone sees what you're doing. After it has set, pass away and watch from a secure distance as human beings attempt to %. it up. 2. Make a ball out of compressed detergent cleansing soap, and secretly drop it into the large fountain or waterfall. pass to a distance and watch the suds start to roll. 3. Print out 8 a million/2x11 pictures of Barney Fife with the words, "Premises secure via Fife." and tape them to all exterior doors. Watch the hire-a-cops throw a extra wholesome. 4. Lock all stalls in a bathing room and then climb over or below each and every dividing wall and go away. for further annoyance positioned a drop of superglue into each and every sliding lock.

I think some people are just too lazy to take the extra time to find & ride the elevators. Sad but true.

To go up or down.
Far worse is people who let young children play on escalators unattended. I've seen a kid get caught in one. Eeek.
