The woman who sat on the handrail of the escalator fell four floors down and tragically lost her life.

In a tragic accident at a shopping mall in China, a young woman lost her life after falling four stories while trying to sit on the handrail of an escalator.

According to security camera footage, the unidentified young woman was dangerously standing near the escalator and reading something just before the accident. The horrifying incident began when the woman attempted to sit on the moving handrail.

The woman lost her balance and began to be dragged by the movement of the escalator. In a last-ditch effort to avoid falling through the gap between the steps and the handrail, she tried to hold onto the handrail. However, the people around her did not notice the unfolding events in time to help her.

According to local media reports, the incident occurred on the evening of November 16 at the Wanxianghui Shopping Mall in Jining, China. The woman fell four stories and lost her life.

Just ten days before the tragedy, it was reported that the building had passed a security inspection, which included a comprehensive check of emergency exits and evacuation routes. Following the accident, local residents began to question the security measures at the shopping mall.
