We present a retrospective survey of the mechanism and the lesions caused by escalators in Genevan children. Though these accidents are rare, they are often very serious. They occur primarily among children around the age of three and affect especially the hand. It is not economically feasible to replace or modify current escalators. It is therefore important that the current warning signs on escalators be improved. As there is a specific risk to children of catching fingers in the escalator and most parents are unaware of this type of danger, a warning sign with an explicit illustration could be of value. Also an insertion of a plastic bar just above the moving stairs on each lateral wall would block any potential extremities from being caught in the gap between the steps and the side of the staircase.
我们对日内瓦儿童中由自动扶梯导致的机制和损伤进行了一项回顾性调查。尽管这些事故很少见，但往往非常严重。它们主要发生在三岁左右的儿童中，尤其影响手部。更换或改造现有自动扶梯在经济上不可行。因此，改进自动扶梯上现有的警示标志很重要。由于儿童手指被自动扶梯夹住存在特殊风险，且大多数家长并未意识到这类危险，带有清晰图示的警示标志可能会有帮助。此外，在每个侧壁的移动梯级上方插入一根塑料杆，可防止任何肢体被夹在梯级与楼梯侧面之间的缝隙中。
