This afternoon while working I was reminded how important it is for each one of us to be observant of our surroundings and pay attention to keep ourselves safe.
I was sitting here working (and playing with my daughter) and suddenly I heard a loud thump and some screams coming from the escalator. I looked up to find that someone had somehow fallen down the escalator (going up) and was positioned face down with his/her feet at the top of the incline and head at the bottom. I quickly called security (although the line was busy) and before I could get through, lots of fellow shoppers were already helping - whether it was by calling the ambumlance, bringing paper towels, stopping the elevator, or being there for general requests - and security showed up quickly after that. It was nice to see how everyone around jumped in to help. It was frightening as the injured person did not move for several minutes, and when that person was finally able to sit up, I could see that it was an elderly woman who was quite frightened by the whole experience. The paramedics came to make sure she was alright, and from the looks of it she only suffered from a bloody nose and some brusies/cuts to her face.
As awful as the situation was, I began to think how much worse it could have been, especially if it would have happened to a pregnant woman (like myself), or a small child. Sometimes when going through the mall, we as mothers are so distracted with our kids that we fail to take the proper precautions in preventing accidents. Just a reminder to all out there - moms, children, fathers, grandparents - to be extra careful as a trip to the mall could land you in the hospital.
