Introduction
A commuter riding the MBTA has survived an escalator that ripped off his pants. Another incident took place in Malden, Massachusetts, when a 89-year-old man fell down the pants guy escalator while riding it at the Chinatown Station.

Escalator ripped off commuter's pants
A commuter’s pants were ripped off by an escalator at a New York City subway station this morning. Three people were riding down from an upper level of the building when the woman’s pants caught. The pants were slightly long for her height and caught the escalator. She began to tip over and land on her face. Her pants began to come off inch by inch as her companions desperately tried to save her. One of them found the emergency shutoff button.
The MBTA Office of Public Art is responsible for the installation, which runs through April 12. Until April 12, the MBTA spokesman said the escalator malfunctioned and tore off the commuter’s pants. The MBTA confirmed the accident, which took place around 8:30 a.m. A commuter from Malden fell on an escalator Tuesday, losing his pants. The commuter’s coat became tangled in the machinery.
Inspection found no defects
In the past few years, escalator safety has been in the spotlight thanks to a video that was captured in China earlier this year. The video showed a mother rescuing a toddler from the escalator, and it sparked increased coverage. The video also showed a man from Shanghai, China, lose his leg and two other passengers, including a one-year-old and a six-year-old, are badly injured. Another incident in Shanghai involved a four-year-old boy who died while wedged under a handrail. All of these accidents could have been avoided with regular inspections and maintenance.
