80% of escalator incidents were rider-related error.  That means 20% were our fault.  I wonder how the 80% splits up into drunk - non drunk incidents.  That's the number I'd like to see.

I knew a manual like this couldn't get away without using the word "horseplay" at least once.  It must have been written by a parent.

I love the line, statistically escalators are safer than stairs.  It proves statisticians can support any stupid remark.  Maybe somebody needs a manual on how to use stairs.  Perhaps that'd help the world-wide stair problem.

I've fallen down the stairs!  If only I'd read a manual that told me; don't fall down the stairs.

I kept the links live, in case you wish to research this topic in more detail.
