Crocs on Escalators

Filed in archive In the Spotlight by Melissa Petri on March 07, 2007

One of my flickr friends had a ghastly experience while she was going down a mall escalator with her daughter who was wearing crocs.

"As we were going down Sophia's left shoe (pink crocs) got caught on the side of the escalator. None of us knew what was happening. Soph was yelling. We thought she was just excited about something she was seeing while going down. It happened so fast. I looked down and saw that her shoe was being EATEN by the crack between the escalator and side foot rail. She was screaming. I saw the little pink croc being gobbled up."

Apparently, this is NOT an isolated case. Although, you could say the same thing about flipflops and eveything else which could possibly get "eaten" by the grates of the escalator.

The above experience should warn us, though, of the probable dangers to our kids in escalators, whether they are wearing crocs or not.

"I hope you learn from our experience. Like I said, I don't know if its the shoe or the escalator... but just in case lets always be prepared and act fast."

My son wears his wherever he goes. Yes, even to the same mall where Daphne went with Soph. From today on, though, I will just allow him to wear his crocs in places where we will not be riding an escalator.
