Escalator Malfunctions at Giants Stadium
Following the Giants’ loss to the New England Patriots Saturday night, a crowded escalator malfunctioned and collapsed, injuring seven people, several of whom fell off the escalator.
According to state police, some of the injured were taken to Hackensack University Medical Center and others were treated at the scene. Several suffered injuries to their legs and feet, including one or more broken bones or fractures, said officials of the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority, which operates Giants Stadium.
Commentary: These type of accidents are usually due to improper maintenance of an elevator or escalator but can be difficult to prove, requiring examination of maintenance and repair records and reports of inspections by public agencies.
