dear lord

Man is trapped in elevator, decapitated

This is horrible. Your bad day doesn't seem so bad now, does it? So be careful... "Elevators and escalators kill about 30 and injure about 17,100 people each year in the United States, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Consumer Product Safety Commission." Our mechanized stair replacements are a much bigger public health hazard than both vending machines and shark attacks. Good news for us diving folk. Bad news for you high-risers and mall rats.

I used to be really scared of escalators as a little kid. Sort of reassuring to learn that that actually was a sensible fear, unlike my paralyzing fear of ventriloquist's dummies.
