You know what? When and if you do decide to do escalators or not.. It is
truly a judgement only you can make.. You are the head of your team.. When Alex
got hurt on the train stairs we avoided them for a while and used the ramp
entrances.. Then one day we did the stairs again.. The ramp is safer because
there isnt the grille on the steps to go up.. I could choose whether to use the
ramp entrance or the steps.. Neither was right or wrong.. Alex was really
scared/hurt by catching her paw in the step grilles, that I, In my ignorance
didn't even know were there! I wasn't sure if she would be ever be ok with them
again.. especially since I couldn't get her to even try them in the weeks
following the accident, then one day I just forgot and we used the stairs..
things were ok..Will I use the stairs or ramp? The ramp is patently safer, but
the stairs are more convenient and she had done them hundreds of times
safely..Either is ok..
