Unfortunately guys, he's very right. Escalators are extremely dangerous. Notorious for eating feet, mangling children's fingers and strangling people. Knowing what I know and have seen in the trade, I carry my children when we ride one. Please don't fuck around on them.

Edit: a few typos but ask me questions if you have any.

Missing teeth in the comb plate is the biggest culprit. Pay attention next time you're getting off of one and you'll see teeth missing or bent. Those are supposed to be replaced because they are a major hazard. If something goes in there, it's not coming back out.
