Escalator - Public Stairs

Escalators are mechanical stairways that are used to move people up and down, high-traffic areas. They're usually located in shopping malls, airports and large hotels.

Escalator Safety Tips: Small children, handicapped and elderly people should be assisted, while using these mechanical stairways systems. I don't know how many times I've watched someone trip or stumble, while using an escalator.

Even though it's not cool for teenagers to hold on to the escalator handrail, you should. Look at it this way, if you did stumble and you were holding on to the moving handrail, you just reduced your chances of falling and injury.

Common sense safety tips that makes sense.
