well, sounds like to me that we need instructions from the parents on how to step onto and off an escalator. why is it a fault of a shoe?! what about the person using the shoe? what about personal responsibility? next thing you know, you'll want to sue the aquarium for operating the escaltor. sue the escalator maker for creating a hazard because i wear a different type of shoe. oh, would that mean i have to make a special escalator for each type of shoe! so folks, does this really make sense? if a door slams on my finger and injures it and i lose my nail, do i sue the place where the door is hung? or do i sue the manufacturer of the door itself? or do i sue the company that put the door in? oh, my, what do i do? afterall, i can't blame myself for allowing the door to hit me. (fyi, i did have a door hit my thumb when i was a kid while carrying a bowling ball. i did lose my thumbnail. but even though i was injured, i still bowled in a tournament. i did not sue anyone because of it.) so what is it nowadays? we can't be held personally liable for our own actions. we have to get money from the bigger institution. the kid injured his toe. did he lose the toe? no! i think the parents should be held responsible. afterall, he's a minor and all parents are responsible.
