Reference Number:

Location: Burnaby
Description: A piece of the handrail track broke and rotated with the handrail. The plastic track moved along with the handrail and eventually became caught into the handrail drive sprocket, causing the handrail drive sprocket to flex and make contact with an escalator step. This contact brought the escalator to a stop.
