Chinese commuters anxiously avoid tops of escalators
Following a tragic escalator accident in China last week, a spate of videos showing commuters anxiously stepping around the top of escalators have gone viral.
The disturbing video of a woman falling to her death through the loose top panel of an escalator in Jingzhou, Hubei province, caused a ripple on social media.
Clips shared over WeChat and Weibo now show paranoid commuters either avoiding the panel or testing it out first. Others have run with the theme in a more humorous way, by leaping across or riding the hand rails to the top.
