As escalators are rampant in malls and bring ease to people's lives, they tend to ride them with every opportunity available. Thus, they get familiar with the benefits of the escalator.

Being familiar with using equipment develops comfort. Repeated use minimizes the passenger’s perceived risks. As frequently as a passenger uses the equipment, the more comfortable the passenger gets with such an amenity. As a result, it increases the ease of passengers using the escalator and further reduces the apparent risks present. Nonetheless, use of this technology does not necessarily mean that we should not be acquainted with such beneficial amenities. Thus, we should be aware of potential dangers and practice the dos and don'ts as a habit.
