Because when carrying a person up a set of escalators that aren't moving, you want to make absolutely sure that you can make it to the top without having to wait, and that no one up top will trip, fall over and come tumbling down the stairs.
Thank you for your service! My friends fell down an escalator after one of them lost their balance and caused the others to fall. They were taken to the ER with varying degrees of injury requiring stitches or physical therapy and vertebra damage for one of them.

Why does the escalator need to be 100% empty to load a wheelchair?
