It was about time Beijing, what took you so long?
Another death involving a person falling over the side of an escalator as they allegedly attempted to slide down the handrail. Please, no matter how tempted you may be do NOT ever try this. This seems to be a more common thing as there were two accidents like this that happened last week. Also to you parents out there; put your phones down when at the mall or riding escalators/elevators with your kids and keep an eye on them. Actually you should be doing this all the time and if we ever get to the point where we need signs or laws that have to remind us of this I may end up giving up on the human race.
