Just heard on C.B.C. radio a woman back east has died after her scarf got tangled up in the escalator that sucked her hair and she died of cardiac arrest. For Christ sakes be careful, put the god damn thing in your hand bag once out of the weather.
Watch those scarves, ladies

Remember those dust devil hand vaccums with the rotating thingamajig? My wife was vaccuming the stairs when her hair was entangled and wrapped around the rotating thing and knocked her out cold when the vaccum nailed her in the noggin.
She woke up with me standing over her with tears in my eyes from laughing and no idea what happened. Thankfully she thought it was funny too.

I don't normally get much enjoyment out of others' pain, unless of course they are a real A$$hole!
Hey, if you can't laugh at the bizarre things life throws your way, what can you laugh at?
I bet you'd find hubby's story about knocking me unconscious when I was 8 months pregnant, with his elbow, less than amusing. It gets great laughs at parties. Especially when he recreates the look on the intake nurse's face at the hospital as he explains what happened.
As to the incident JLM is discussing.....
I highly doubt she died from getting her hair and scarf stuck in an escalator. I strongly suspect she got her hair and scarf stuck in an escalator because she died. So long as you're not keeling over on an escalator due to a heart attack, your hair and scarf are perfectly safe.

I would point out the difference between laughing at a story when you know that everything turned out OK and laughing at someone who has been knocked unconscious whilst they are still unconscious, but why bother?
As I said, I find the suffering of others quite affirming.
Well, whichever way, I'm sorry your wife was all right, and I hope there's continuing pain and complications.
The pain came from getting her hair unwrapped. The bonk to the noggin was the easy part.
That is NOT the way it was reported. The scarf got caught first, then the hair and then while help was being summoned she died of cardiac arrest. If you want to see another interesting incident with a scarf google Isadora Duncan.
