A man in Shenzhen, Guangdong caused chaos at a mall when he let go of a shopping cart on an escalator, sending it tumbling down.

The shopping cart then began to roll down the moving stairs before tipping over and scattering its contents, nearly hitting a girl who was descending the escalator at the same time. The man retrieved the cart and the woman accompanying him helped collect the fallen items.

The mall manager, Mr. Huang, explained that the man was a first-time shopper at the mall and thought the escalator was a ramp-style one, which led to his mistake.

Despite the damage to the escalator and cart, the mall did not require the man to pay compensation. Instead, the mall provided safety education to the man and quickly installed an escalator guardrail while also placing safety signs in a more visible location. The public is reminded not to push shopping carts, strollers, and other objects onto escalators and to pay attention to safety signs for personal and public safety.

5月1日，广东深圳，1男1女在下商场扶梯时，男子将推着的购物车放上扶梯后，就松开了双手。购物车直接翻滚而下，车上的物品散落在扶梯上。前方的一名女孩正好下扶梯，险些被砸。男子下扶梯后将购物车扶起，同行女子紧跟其后，2人将散落在地上的物品捡了起来。
对此该商场经理黄先生介绍，男子是第一次到这个商场购物，以为商场的电梯是斜坡电梯，所以没有抓住购物车。黄经理表示，虽然电梯和购物车有所损坏，但并未要求该男子进行赔偿，商场已对该男子进行了安全教育，也以最快速度加装了电梯护栏，并将原有的指示牌摆放到明显位置。提醒市民上下电梯不要推购物车、婴儿车等，要注意安全标识，要注意自身及大家的人身安全。
