A escalator is a machine powered moving staircase which is used to transport people from one floor to the next. You can also walk up the escalator to get to your destination faster. Either way the escalator is inclined and it stretches out for quite far depending on how high it needs to go. If the escalator needs to reach a high point it will be longer than if it had to reach a lower point. For example, a escalator which has to reach just one floor will be shorter than a escalator that has to go up two floors in height. The staircase usually moves at a relatively slow pace but still fast enough to get people up in time. There are many safety precautions one must take when you get on a escalator. For example, you should not wear long dresses in case the fabric gets stuck in the gears of the escalator. On top of that you should always remember to tie your shoelaces because the string could get between a step and pull your foot into the crack. If you make sure to follow the necessary safety precautions when it comes to taking a escalator you will rarely have a accident on one.
