How to save yourself when the escalator breaks down?

2024-02-23

1. In any emergency on the escalator, you should press the stop emergency button at the first time.

Usually on both sides of the head and tail of the elevator, the escalator has a red emergency stop button, and the middle of the longer escalator is also set up with an emergency button. The location of the button is usually chosen in a place that will not be easily triggered, but it is easier to find as long as you pay careful attention. When it is confirmed that someone is involved in the elevator, the people around you should quickly find this button and press it decisively. However, in non-emergency situations, do not press the button by mistake, or feel fun and press, otherwise the sudden shutdown is also easy to cause passengers to fall, overturn or stampede.


2. Protect yourself.

In addition to pressing the emergency button, passengers should also do a good job of self-protection, usually take the elevator to follow the principle of left to stand on the right, hold the escalator handrail, keep the body center of gravity when accidentally trampled or crowded accidents, accidentally fell to the ground, to interlock the hands and fingers, protect the back of the head and neck, two elbows forward, protect the bilateral temples. Both knees should be bent forward as far as possible to protect the important organs of the chest and abdomen, and lie on the ground on your side. When you find that someone in front of you suddenly falls down, stop your steps immediately, shout for help at the same time, and tell the people behind you not to move forward.
