Are Escalators and Moving Walkways Safe?
  + stars: | 2023-07-01 | by ( Mike Ives | Muktita Suhartono | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Such walkways are known as “moving walks” to government regulators and construction companies. An escalator sits at about 30 degrees, but a moving walk’s incline is typically no more than a tenth of that. Escalators and moving walks ease the movement of billions of people through airports, shopping malls and other public spaces each year. Escalators and moving walks are widely seen as very safe. But even that figure is exceedingly small if you consider the sheer volume of escalator and moving walk trips that people take every day.
