Why do you need brushes on an escalator? To clean shoes? For beauty? What would it be? Or is it for safety? If you stand on the steps of an escalator, and it is not from the last century, then you will be able to see on the edge, where the balustrade is, the very brushes. You probably watched a video when an escalator chewed up a person or an item of clothing. This is all because people do not always think about safety when standing on the steps of an escalator in the subway. No one reads the rules of use, but this is a place of increased danger and you need to be very careful so that you or your trouser leg or laces are not sucked under the escalator. There were cases on a moving escalator when a child's leg was sucked in. In general, you need to know that brushes are not for cleaning shoes, but so that you can feel in time that your foot is too close to a dangerous place on the escalator step. After watching, you will understand how escalator brushes work and what you need to do so that the moving staircase does not become a killer escalator for you. Perhaps we will also consider why the escalator handrail is dangerous.
