On Sunday, a man lost his leg in an escalator accident in China. Shockingly, on the same day another such accident took place in a super market in China’s Hunan Province. This time the victim was a 3-year-old-boy.

The CCTV camera footage shows the boy falling from the escalator and his hand getting stuck between the steps and the side panel. The firemen reached the spot and it took them two hours to rescue the boy. Fortunately the boy didn’t suffer any major injuries.

After so many accidents involving escalators, people must be scared to ride one.
