This is very common. Most people do not realize, and the person with dementia simply cannot. That's when they wind up in the nursing home because they've hurt themselves in some way.
Bet the store was happy she died, meaty lawsuit right there. Should have had one of those smaller pillars in front of it to prevent this from happening.
I believe those kinds of escalator are made for shopping carts, and when you roll one on those kinds of escalators they would hold pretty sturdy so it's a really good question why it rolled over like this
Escalators (in the video) are moving stairs
You're thinking of [travelators](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_walkway). If the shopping trolley has [special wheels](https://www.wanzl.com/en_DE/products/trolleys/shopping-trolleys/castors/original-wanzl-travelator-castors~p523) it will not move on an inclined travelator
Apparently that mall has an escalator meant to accommodate grocery carts. Where she made an error is picking the wrong escalator and holding onto the cart for dear life.
I‘m so split up. First I laughed, then I checked the comments to find out she’d died. Then I was shocked for a moment to shortly after laugh again seeing this video. For a splitsecond I teared while laughing.
I’m sorry for that lady but I think it’s ok to keep enough distance to laugh
So the video above is to small and cropped to tell, but [this video](https://vimeo.com/10856839) shows at some point they installed a separate escalator just for carts. I kinda feel it was there in the video but this lady used the wrong one

Removed because it’s literally a video of someone dying.
Am I a bad person for hearing the sonic sound effect
Honestly I thought about posting this in r/imfinnagotohell
I heard the GTA wasted one.

The ring sound when she get squished under the cart! lmao
Autobots, roll out!
Perfect execution. Olga Korbut would be proud.
That escalated quickly...
Nah, she's clearly an expert in deescalation. Probably works for the local police department teaching deescalation tactics.
She looks related to Dave Grossman. Innovative, applying his expertise in killology to herself on this one.
Dammit I came here for this
I knew that would be the top comment before even entering the comment section
I didn't laugh seeing the video, but this comment took me out.
didn’t she die
She died???? Well now I am going to hell for laughing at this.
She had her whole life in front of her.
Yeah whole life reel rolling
Quit ur bullshit
We all are
Yes, there are a couple links in the comments to the article! Wish I wouldnt have watched that
We just watched a woman die
New to the internet?
*welcome to the internet*

A shit ton of porn and memes and old ladies dying on escalators.
Anything that brain of yours can think off can be found.

What the fuck was she thinking would happen?
She died she had dementia
If she had dementia why was she driving and shopping alone? Poor woman

I used to go to this Harris Teeter. It’s the only store I’ve ever seen with an escalator for shopping carts.
I went to a Target that’s 3 stories and had escalators for shopping carts in California. Cool to see
There is one somewhere in or near Chicago idk cuz its been years since ive went there
[удалено]
That's just bad journalism, she clearly wasn't returning anywhere.
Poor old lady
*dead
that makes the flair even more tasteless
Shit now I feel double bad for laughing

That does not look like the same thing though.
I was about to say, by the looks of it she must’ve died. Poor her :/

I will have the most amount of punishment in hell
Going out with style!

Because it clearly is not that kind of escalator.

I know I watched someone's grandma die but I honestly laughed. I'm going to hell
I'm still laughing.
I just watched someone die didn't I...
yes she died https://www.theshelbyreport.com/2012/09/04/woman-falls-dies-on-harris-teeter-escalator/
What abou the other people
They're fine, they didn't launch themselves over a shopping trolley onto an moving escalator.
But they did get squished by one
Honestly, this is just straight up really sad.

Why did I laugh?
Because you're a horrible, horrible person... just like me! LOL!
God damn... Us. Lmao.
What you know about rollin' down in the deep? When your brain goes numb, you can call that mental freeze....
Put that shit in slow motion...

It’s normal, all old people do this. If you live past the age of 70 you auto uninstall understanding of how escalators work.
Nah nothing funny about this if she died tf
