Wow.. wtf...

I knew this would either be China or Russia.

[Patrick Chewing]

Made in China.


R.I.P. Feel sorry for the kid.

[GreggPopazit]

Jesus, that is terrifying.

[Bandito]

I always had this fear of dying in an escalator. This just freaks me out in way unimaginable to you guys.

Damn third worlders. A kid is hurt or dying on the ground and like 10 adults just stand around too scared to get close to the kid or help, except for a little kid. :facepalm

That shit happens a lot in China. There was a really depressing video a few years back where a little Chinese girl was run over and bystanders and cars just passed her like she wasn't even there. Only one person if I recall correctly moved her from the path of incoming cars but no one even tried to help as she lay there dying. That shit was really heartbreaking and makes you lose your faith in mankind :( :mad: :banghead:

Peep the guy at the bottom of the escalator; it's the father. :(

Although there are clear cultural problems at work here, most Asian countries don't have good Samaritan laws. If they try and help an injured person and they end up dying in their arms, they are open to all kinds of civil and perhaps criminal action (not sure on latter).

Again, there is definitely some cultural work at play though. They've been conditioned to keep their heads down at all times.

[TheMan]

Its called the Bystander effect. And it happens all over the world. In fact the most famous example of it happened in New York City.
Wow, that's interesting. I read a bit about the Bystander Effect, I would've totally guessed that the more people there are the more likely people would get involved, sort of a strength by numbers, but the opposite actually happens.

[Bandito]

In this one the little girl loses her foot. (https://youtu.be/CCR70ZsgTao)

These escalator scares me to death. I always use normal stairs when I am by myself.

I saw that link when I clicked onto YouTube, I ain't gonna watch a video where a little girl loses a foot, bruh. I have two young children of my own.

I don't understand the OP video. What the hell happened? It looked like the metal floor collapsed as they stepped off? Makes no sense.

That's third world country for ya, zero safety measure as long as it is cheap and working.

Little girls have no value in China. If it was a little boy then many people would've helped. Parents probably happy because now they can try for a boy.

[highwhey]

When i was going through alcohol withdrawal, that whole week my anxiety was thru the roof. Had random twitches/muscle tremors. Anyhow, went to Nordstrom to buy some clothes and the men's section is on the basement level, i was on the 3rd level so i had to take escalators down. When i approached the escalators i was like HELL NAH. legs got shaky as hell, almost had a panic attack tip toeing back to safety. Needless to say, i shopped elsewhere.

Well, they're retarded because there are like 20,000,000 more males than females in China.

[CavaliersFTW]

My morbid curiosity made me click this. The video started, I kept imagining before I even clicked how on earth could someone get crushed by an escalator.

Than in the video I saw the floor panels open up and I saw her fall into the hole in the floor while the escalator was still running.

I immediately closed the video before it finished. I refuse to watch this, this is absolutely horrific.

[MrC1991]

I dunno why I watched all of it its like a ****ing car crash you can't look away. God damn. Rip.

[Millslapped]

Is there not a 'stop' button on most elevators? I know China is f*cked up with building codes though.

[CavaliersFTW]

I finally watched it. God damnit I could almost feel the terror and pain that must have been going on in her final moments.

[Millslapped]

It took them 3 hours to get the body. It was unrecognizable to say the least...

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

How the f*ck? I honestly never would've imagined something happening like this.

Not even close to the same thing, but as a little kid I remember getting my laces caught on an escalator.... Had to literally get outta my shoe as I watched it get shredded into oblivion. Scary sh!t

[iamgine]

I wonder which is more common, escalator deaths or plane crashes.

There is a world of difference between not intervening to stop an armed man, versus trying to rush to the aid of a child who has just fallen.

:oldlol:

Same thing happened to me when my parents took me to Disneyland when I was like 7. We were exiting the Haunted Mansion and pant leg got caught between the conveyor belt and what looked to me like enormous metal teeth of belt threshold. I thought for sure I was going to die, but my dad just laughed and pulled me up ripping my pants at the same time. I'd always jump the last foot of an escalator after that until I got in high school. :oldlol:

[ArbitraryWater]

won't watch that shit

sounds cruel though

edit: **** I did watch.. didnt even realize what was happening.

Oh my god, my heart breaks for the little boy.
Never taking the escalator again.

Watched some Chinese dude get crushed by an elevator a few days ago. I'll pass on this.

F*ck China.

Holy shit....I didn't know accidents like that can happen. Now I am going to have to beware.

Yeah in hindsight I laughed it off and thought it was pretty retarded, but after seeing this video, I don't even know anymore. :biggums:

[Nick Young]

In my country, Europe, our escalators are top of the line technology and are designed by the top European engineers to ensure that collapses like this would never occur. Hopefully we can open our borders wider in order to ensure more Chinese refugees can escape from that oppressive and misogynistic regime and be welcomed with open arms in to our noble land of libert

[enayes]

I still don't understand how the floor collapsed like that. As she stepped down it looked there was no support whatsoever underneath the metal flooring. Wouldn't there be solid concrete/metal running all underneath the walkway?

Starting to think this is fake.

And to the people who stopped the video before ending, are you f'ing kidding me? All you see is her slip and then fall down, there's no gore at all :biggums:

[CavaliersFTW]

The floor panel at the apex of the escalator collapsed as she and her child stepped on it. At which point a giant hole opened up revealing something along the lines of this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibEdgQJEdTA

Only moving much more slowly.

She pushes her kid forward just in time so the kid doesn't fall into the hole, but her leg gets immediately pulled in, and she slowly gets destroyed over the course of the next several seconds as the escalator pulls her from her feet to the tip of her head and shreds her like a paper shredder in front of her kid and a few terrified witnesses. One even tries to grab her arm and save her and pull her out as the escalator slowly consumes her.

It's final destination type shit. It looked terrifying and painful.

Escalator schematics indicate a very tight space under those elevator steps/teeth.

Enough to pull you in and get crushed up into a bloody unrecognizable pulp, just as the description indicated. I don't think it's faked, not with some kid, why would they terrorize some kid just to fake a video? I suppose it's possible, but then again why did liveleak give it an adult rating. As a prank, that wouldn't warrant such a rating because as you said you don't actually see the gore.

But if it really happened... it makes things a whole lot scarier. Which is why whether there is gore or not, can you blame people for not wanting to see it? Nobody wants to see that lady's last agonizing moments as an escalator slowly consumes her in a state of panic in front of her child.

[9erempiree]

I am trying to grasp why an escalator would be designed the way it is where we are literally walking over a death trap. It is damn scary to think a small panel is whats dividing us from that mechanism.

Yeah that panel broke apart as if it was flimsy and able to be offset by the slightest wrong step...

Now I'm going to jump over those panels. **** it, I will not be killed by an escalator.

[9erempiree]

The sad thing is it looks like they have escalator attendants just like how we have elevator attendants but none of those attendants even tried to hit the stop button. :facepalm

Apparently, it was recently "serviced" and they "forgot" to put the screws back on.

*WARNING* He dies slowly. Moves his head, hands and feet around for a good length of time and you think he'll be alright but help doesn't come quick enough. Incredibly depressing.

Saw that one, and this one where a Chinese lady gets decapitated. No one gets freaked out or shows lots of emotion. When the door opens they all calmly step over her headless corpse.

I found the whole story on Reddit apparently. Anyone curious?

[CavaliersFTW]

I think after these videos I have determined I will never go to China.

Their escalators kill you. Their elevators kill you. Their planes kill you. You can not travel in China without using their deathtrap machinery. Even if it doesn't kill you, chances are it or it's faulty design has killed someone else.

[ekosky]

Fuuuuck :(

RIP.

[9erempiree]

Recently serviced or not, that panel looks flimsy and it is a design flaw in my opinion. A panel like that is not suppose to be held by mere screws.

the problem is in countries like that safety regulations are all f*cked up. people hate the government but we'd be no better if we didn't have safety protocols and other shit for companies to follow
