Escalator graphic Even though escalators are common features in everyday places, they can still be dangerous if you aren't careful. Of the accidents we recorded in 2003, 94% were attributed to rider error. Next time you're riding on an escalator, remember these rules:

  • Step on and off carefully
  • Hold handrail tightly
  • Stand facing forward
  • Don't touch below the handrail
  • Take care of younger children
  • Don't ride if you have a stroller
