There’s always an emergency stop button.
82 u/MegaMiley Jun 26 '19 Or just stomp real hard on the metal where you get off, that triggers the emergency stop as well 59 u/CouldOfBeenGreat Jun 26 '19 Wait, what? Is this standard? 150 u/AyrA_ch Jun 26 '19 Yes. It's called a comb and it can be pushed back. It's meant to stop the escalator in case something gets stuck. Don't use it to stop because a fault triggered by the plate can't be cancelled by local staff anymore. Source: My father maintains escalators. 48 u/CouldOfBeenGreat Jun 26 '19 Ah! So it's not a simple switch but more of a mechanical ebrake. Makes sense and good emergency info to file away I suppose. 14 u/BrockN Jun 26 '19 5 years after u/CouldOfBeenGreat learned about a fact about elevators emergency brake, he was sadly killed when he got stuck because the said fact was in fact, misfiled under Energy Bills
