Can I use a walker to ride an escalator?
It is extremely dangerous to ride an escalator using a silver cart.
■ Avoid using escalators
Silver carts are designed to run on stable ground, so they become very unstable on a moving floor with an incline or steps, such as an escalator.
The vehicle must be tilted, which can cause the center of gravity to shift and cause imbalance.
The main body may move, causing a risk of falling or being caught in an accident.
Especially if you have a seat or luggage inside, the weight will increase and it will be difficult to control.
■ For safety reasons, please be sure to use the elevator.
Many places like stations and shopping centers have barrier-free elevators, allowing you to move your silver cart safely.
If you can't find the elevator, please ask a member of staff.
■ Summary
When traveling with a silver cart, safety comes first and the basic rule is to use the elevator.
Avoid using escalators at all costs, as they can lead to unexpected accidents.
