When this woman and her 10-year-old nephew were shopping in a shopping mall in Surfers Paradise, a small town on the Gold Coast of Queensland, her clothes-including shirts, pants and underwear-were somehow caught in the teeth of the machine, causing her slip.

"The escalator is still moving, I screamed for help," the woman told 9News. She added that she hurt herself when she landed. In one photo, her back appeared to be severely scratched. There are deep stripes on her shoulder blades.
