They really don't deserve to be classified as escalators, in my view. What they really are are inclined conveyor belts, with a continuous loop that carries passengers from one end to the other. The "steps" are just like saw-tooth notches in the belt that keep people from slipping downward, and they never worked terribly well at that.I imagine there were way more accidents than occur these days, but on the other hand, they must have been less gruesome. Since there were not actually separate steps with combs to connect each one, there was no way to get trapped and/or drawn in between them and get mangled or torn to shreds. |
