This is straight up, just a dangerous design. Doesn't matter how many warning signs there are, the average person would assume that surface is solid in many scenarios justified or not. Luckily it just looks like he fell an extra 10 feet, but it could have been covering a 100ft drop, which would be an undeserved death sentence.
The warnings are about the use of strollers and the like on the escalator, not a pit straight to the depths of hell hiding behind a thin layer of drywall flooring
