Come on now. If a person by now is so oblivious to the dangers of escaltors and not on defense being on offense, then they should not even be walking across a street or even have a pet.

Not sure on the seriousness but it is has been well publicised that flip flops and croc rubber shoes have had their fair share of accidents.
