• A woman was following her mother up an escalator with her daughter on stroller
• She failed to secure the stroller and fell backwards on the moving stairs
• Her elderly mother tripped over while rushing down to save the pair who fell
• The family was finally saved when onlookers stopped the escalators moving 

Three members of the same family accidentally fell on an escalator in an underground station in east China on Sunday.

CCTV footage shows a woman carrying her daughter in a stroller to an upward escalator, following her mother at the front.

The woman failed to secure the stroller on the moving stairs and fell down shortly. Her elderly mother quickly ran down, however, she lost balance and tumbled down along.
