I just can't imagine how that could happen. I'd think it was a challenge to find a place to fall when on an escalator, unless he summersaulted on the escalator itself and landed on his head that way. I've never done more than slip down one step, and that never had anything to do with not knowing the escalator was there, because they are a bit hard to miss with there sound and large metal. plates at top and bottom. I guess one of my friends' favorite sayings is correct. "If it's bad it's possible." Sarah Van Oosterwijck http://home.earthlink.net/~netentity/ -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
