As I was hurrying up the escalator at Fort Totten, I suddenly jerked to a halt. I tried to walk forward, but I could not. Something was holding my foot. I jerked, hard, still nothing. I looked back and realized... My untied shoelaces had gotten caught in the escalator.

Actually when my mom was little she was in a department store with her mom and she sat down on the escalator and her pants got caught in it and ripped them totally off. Security had to come over and help her out- luckily she was in a place where she could buy new pants.
