INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When nearing the top of the escalator, step off promptly and confidently. If you hesitate, you will end up falling onto the floor and potentially injuring yourself. To step off, simply lift your foot and place it on the stationary metal plate at the top of the escalator. Release the handrail and continue walking forward. It’s easy for small, light objects such as the hems of clothing to get “pinched” here. Make sure your loose clothing is either gathered in your hand or high enough from the escalator that it won’t get caught. Some people believe that an escalator can reach out and “grab” you as you ride. This is a common myth. As long as you keep your shoes and loose clothing away from moving parts, you will be fine. If your clothing gets caught, try to press the emergency stop button at the top or bottom of the escalator. If this doesn’t work, try to get out of the clothing. It’s better to be embarrassed and naked than injured! If you dawdle at the exit you could cause an accident. After all, the people moving towards you on the escalator can’t control their speed. If you block the exit, they will simply run into you. Instead, walk quickly away from the exit area before setting down your bag or stopping.

SUMMARY:
Step off promptly. Keep loose clothing clear of the top step. Move away from the exit area quickly.
