It must really be terribly hard for you, 2babita. Fortunately, I haven't had the difficult experience of witnessing such traumatic accidents. It probably, thus, explains why I am not afraid of escalators. I feel that there are ways to help you overcome your fear of escalators. If I'm not mistaken, there are already promising results from hypnosis, which helps in destroying the different phobias of people. If you want, you could try it to somehow minimize, if not totally destroy, your fear of escalators.

No I don't feel afraid of escalators. It is just a machine and nothing else if one is careful nothing would happen to them by these machines.

I'm very afraid if I stay alone in escalator. At that time, who knew what's happen with me in that. If stay with stranger, I afraid double. Because who knows he or she is a good person or a bad person. The best way is stay with my friend.

No i dont find anything scary about escalators. I use them everytime i am visiting a mall. Infact even my children who are aged nine and four are using them and dont find anything odd about it. I do care that they get on and step out in time when they reach the destination.

No iam not.Indeed i like to get into escalators..but iam always cautious while stepping out of it.I have a friend who fears and she never get into escalators as she says her legs might get trapped if she fails to step correctly or she may fall down while stepping out of it.
