We need resilient systems that fall back to sanity when broken / discriminating. And not whatever.

    Multiple independent braking systems and adequate maintenance.

    A single failure may cause the escalator to stop working, but it takes 3 failures in a row to make it catastrophic. Regular maintenance catches this failures before 3 in a row can occur.

      And that regular maintenance has been put off before, causing instances of mass injuries.

      My entire point here is that their insistence on laypeople going “eh, it’ll be fine” and using a broken escalator is stupid
