A father and son barely escaped a horrible tragedy after quickly stepping off of a collapsing escalator in China, the nation’s elevators and escalators continuing to exact a grisly toll.
Occurring at a supermarket in Xuancheng, footage of their dangerous encounter was captured via security cameras:
The two managed to avoid harm and staff were quick to activate the emergency stop button; after investigating, it was discovered that a key had gotten caught in the guide rail and caused the escalator’s rollers to burst – subsequently destroying the entire device.
Authorities stated they are bolstering safety inspections for other machines in the area, though some may question how effective that will be considering the smallest of objects can cause such devastation…
The problem with China is called “quality.” They don’t put quality in their products and services unless, of course, if there is guidance and help from foreign companies.
They don’t know what quality means
So everything in China explodes.
The issue isn’t necessarily with the build quality, it’s the total lack of ongoing maintenance that causes the catastrophic failures we often see.
A problem of Communism is that nobody takes responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of anything. Since property belongs to the State, everyone leaves the State to maintain the property. So everything falls apart, infrastructure crumbles, lights never get replaced and so on and so forth.
Communism is just a pseudo-label on China now, an excuse for the dictatorship to stay in power. These are obviously privately owned businesses. The other commenter’s are more correct about a lack of accountability based on ignorance and greed.
It can be made in China actually. But we cant blame China for a Schindler’s product. Also, escalator are always dangerous and have lots of messes of maintenance.
Not only that.
It’s also the lack of public/collective conscience. Most chinese people are greedy and apathetic to their surrounding. Destroy an escalator here and there, who cares, someone else will take care of it.
Yes, is the quality. In China even office chair and pc monitor explodes

Schindler escalator made in China ? Moron…
This reminds me of the time where Sankaku Complex had an article of the exploding office chairs… or was that bicycle seats. Either way I guess you have to watch yourself out there.
Don’t forget the exploding truck with pillows.
Both of those have been covered.
no s♥♥t sherlock. That’s exactly what they are saying.
yea that guy is dumb
Fortunately still not as dumb as you.
If you mean to include both, you don’t use “or”, you use “and”. There’s a significant difference between those two words, Poirot.
Looking at how one of the steps shattered almost like glass makes me wonder about the quality of the materials used.

The way the parts of the steps shattered did they make it out of unrefined pig iron?
