The escalator horror story returns, this time happening in the Gardens, Mid Valley. This time a man almost had his legs devoured, had he not reacted in time. A local social media page shared images from the incident, and from the shared images it seemed like a part of the ‘stairs’, which was supposed to keep shoppers in place gave way, causing it to be unstable and collapsable when stepped on. This is not the first time such incidents have happened in Malaysia, last year there were numerous similar cases happening in shopping malls nationwide, but fortunately for the victims, none of them were seriously injured. In China however, the victim was not as lucky. In one of the first reported similar accidents last year, a lady sacrificed herself to save her child, and was horribly devoured by the machines under the escalator. The incident got worldwide attention, and caused a brief fear for escalators. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MztOvuITLWo
