Toddler wearing crocs gets toes stuck in escalator
Ouch!
Gaining a lot of attention are stories like little Lexi, who was wearing crocs on her way to a Disney vacation and got her toes stuck in the escalator for 15 minutes. Her toes, broken, with one requiring a pin, will leave her bedridden for the next 3 weeks weeks.
Poor boo. 
EMT’s rushed the little girl to the hospital after being stuck for about 15 minutes. She suffered three broken toes. Doctors placed a pin in one and performed surgery to clean bones and remove skin contaminated by escalator grease.
Her foot may eventually be as good as new, but her shoe is a different story. She was wearing “Crocs” at the time, a brand of footwear gaining attention for escalator accidents.

OK, my first question is HOW? What in the world was the child doing that caused her foot to get stuck? Iâm sorry, but if youâre riding the escalator in the manner in which is intended (standing still with your feet in place in the middle of the dang thing), then how in the world can this happen? When you get to the bottom, you lift your foot and step off. A 3 year old child, in an airport that busy, should have been carried on the escalator at any rate.
I hate to lay blame without having all of the facts, but I see it all of the time. Children are allowed to run all over the place with little to no supervision, and then when they get hurt the parent is all over pointing the finger at the “establishment”. Sadly, this woman will probably try to sue, which others will have to absorb the costs for.
