The heel of my gramma’s shoe got caught in a Sears escalator and knocked her flat, screaming.
My aunt barely got the shoe off before her foot was mangled.
The escalator ‘ate’ her shoe.
I avoid the damn things.
#1 Son was about 3 as I recall.
Escalator tried to eat him “hand first.”
Fortunately the safety stop worked.
We were lucky with just a couple of pinched fingers.
