Can you use the emergency stop button of the escalator correctly?

There are not many days before the escalator "cannibalism" incident on July 26. The process was miserable, and many people were afraid to watch it. May the dead rest in peace. The main responsibility for this incident has been given, and the injured have no responsibility. Here, we won't discuss it much. This article just wants to talk about what the general public should pay attention to when taking the escalator. ?

Handrails, handrails, you have to grab the handrails.

Some people may think that the safety of escalators should be the responsibility of merchants, escalator manufacturers and elevator maintenance companies, which is nothing to us ordinary people.

This is not right. The red light stopped and the green light came on, but you know what? Many people were killed by cars under the green light. Why? Because that man is drunk! Or, that guy used the accelerator as a brake!

Can you control other people's drunk driving? Can you control others not to use the accelerator as a brake?

No, just as ordinary people can't control the quality of elevators produced by manufacturers, the safety control of escalators by merchants and the serious maintenance of elevators by maintenance companies.

The only thing you can control is yourself!

Therefore, when taking the escalator, you must keep in mind some necessary safety common sense.

First, hold the handrail tightly.

Escalator escalator, of course, you should hold the handrail tightly when you ride. This is a very simple safety common sense. However, in this era when mobile phones never leave their hands, I still have to remind you again and again.

When flying in an airplane or a car, the armrest is as important as wearing a seat belt. At the critical moment, it can save your life and others' lives.

Handrails play a life-saving role in the following situations.

(1) The elevator broke down and suddenly stopped. The upward elevator may not be too dangerous. If it's a downward elevator, it's dangerous.

The quality of the elevator is fine, but someone pressed the emergency stop button.

The above picture shows that on July 5, 20 1 1, the escalator at Exit A of Zoo Station of Beijing Metro Line 4 broke down, and some passengers who were taking the elevator suddenly fell down. Many people were caught off guard and the crowd fell down one after another, which led to the stampede. The accident caused 1 person to die, 2 people were seriously injured and 26 people were slightly injured.

The accident above is of course the quality problem of the elevator. Again, we can't control the quality of the elevator, so you should hold the handrail tightly, so that when the elevator stops suddenly, you won't fall, otherwise you will not only harm yourself, but also harm others because of inertia.

Elevator is essentially a means of transportation, and everything that moves is dangerous. Besides, unlike in a car, you are surrounded by soft cushions and escalators are hard guys. If you fall headlong on it, you will be lucky to get hurt. So, shouldn't we hold on to the handrail?

Second, don't put shoes and long skirts near the edge of the elevator.

On the elevator, there is a fixed part and a more movable part, and there is a gap between these two parts, which is a dangerous existence. If the shoes are close to the long skirt, they may be involved. There is no need to describe it. Look at the picture naturally.

Look at this picture and think about your feet.

Can I press the emergency stop button?

The answer is, of course, yes. If you can't press it, what do you want it for? But there are countless people. First, they don't know where the emergency stop button is. When they are in danger, they won't take any measures except jumping around in a hurry. Second, many people subconsciously think that the emergency stop button is for managers, and ordinary people can't just press it.

Let's start with the first question. Where is the emergency stop button? Obviously, the position and appearance of the "emergency stop button" of different brands of elevators are slightly different, but they are basically as follows:

In an emergency, in order to press for the first time, you can also kick with your feet when it is inconvenient to press with your hands, as shown in the red position in the above picture. If there is danger, don't hesitate to kick it away.

In addition to the above two positions, there is an emergency stop button in the middle, which is convenient for people going to the middle to press.

If you often go shopping in the mall, be sure to pay attention to the "emergency stop button" of its elevator and see where it is. Don't wait for danger to find it anxiously.

Let's discuss the second question. Can someone press the emergency stop button when the elevator is in danger? Or just wait for the staff to press it. The answer, of course, is that anyone can press the button. This is obviously a simple question, but in reality, it has become a complicated one.

First, because of publicity, the panic button in life has become a forbidden area for everyone, because there are several big red letters that say "Don't move unless it is an emergency, and illegal use will be handled according to the rules".

Obviously, there is nothing wrong with the slogans of various "emergency stop buttons". The consequences of pressing them casually are all kinds of problems. But over time, the "emergency stop button" has gradually become a forbidden area in the minds of ordinary people, and ordinary people are too lazy to look at it and care about it. If there is an accident, whether to press it or not, whether to remember to press it and so on will follow.

From now on, we should change our minds. The "emergency stop button" is pressed by ordinary people. Once a subway door caught a passenger, and a passenger pressed the emergency stop button. The result was not serious.

For example, in March of 20 14, a couple took the subway with their 3-year-old daughter. When the little girl got on the bus, the door caught the child's clothes In desperation, the parents turned on the emergency unlocking device next to the underground gate, and the subway stopped urgently. There was only a delay of about 3 minutes. Although the follow-up train is late, the impact is not great. Soon, the subway operation returned to normal.

Sometimes, no one presses that button, resulting in casualties. Also on 20 14, Beijing Metro Line 5, a female passenger was stuck between the platform security door and the car door. After the train started, she fell off the platform and died. During this process, no one pressed the emergency stop button.

Some people may think that I can press the "emergency stop button" of the elevator, but what if someone fails to grasp the handrail and someone falls down after the elevator suddenly stops running?

Needless to say, this is really a problem, and it is also the reason why many people are afraid to press the button. But let's think of it this way. People who take the elevator only care about playing with their mobile phones and don't grab the handrails. He violated the safety regulations and must be responsible for his own injuries. Secondly, when the elevator hurts people, you can't care so much. Press it if you want. Finally, before pressing the emergency stop button, you can shout "close the elevator!" " "In order to remind the people on the elevator to be mentally prepared.

You see, if you don't grab the handrail when you take the escalator, what a psychological burden it will bring to those who are ready to save people. So, once again, the elevator is only a few tens of seconds. Don't do anything else to save time. Please hold the handrail for yourself and others.
