Again, this is a Chinese way of seeing things.
In Western countries you'd rather find an Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation, for example, or signs that say "Hold the handrail". Legs are rarely an issue.

Taken in Shanghai 上海 this February. Thanks, Caroline!

Hi, friend. It's so interesting! ^_^

Thanks for your concern about those "Chinglish". To be frank, I really feel sorry for those silly/improper translations. We hope we can make improvements in the coming future.
