Was he staring at his phone the WHOLE TIME?

Maybe you should pay attention while on a moving walkway. No sympathy from me.

No buddy, you can have a reasonable expectation of adequate safety.
He got lucky.

If you watch the video closely it looks like even if he didn't havew his phone in his hand, the bag in front of him blocked the view of the missing safety guard until it was too late.

And it wouldn't have happened if he was paying attention buddy.

He had his head down buried in his phone and the first thing he did when he got on his feet was to pick up said phone. You know, priorities.

That argument will not hold up in court.
There is a reasonable expectation of safety.
The FAA isn’t involved and its not a Boeing.
Too soon?

Asking for a wind check could have possibly helped.
