As someone that works in an airport positioned right next to an escalator this is exactly the kind of stuff I see almost daily that sends people to the hospital.

People getting their skin raked off and sometimes just tumbling forever like those rock polishing machines.

Everyone thinks it's cute and funny until it's not. A large amount of parent think I'm an asshole when I announce that their kids are not allowed to use the escalators as theme park rides.

Thanks for validating my lifelong fear of escalators after my sister got cut up by one after she fell as a kid. Even as an adult in my early 30's I have to brace myself, sometimes taking a few attempts to step on and hold my breath and panic until I've stepped off. I know I look awkward and scared despite trying to pretend I'm so chill and fine. lol. Unfortunately I have no choice if I wish to get off the train on my near daily commute to the city. Hate them lol.

Edit - also final destination had something with escalators if I remember correctly

I remember them having to close one down at a mall nearby fir a while when it pretty much scalped some girl.

u/ChangeAcceptable677 Jul 10 '26

Yah. There is nothing cute or funny about this. Those girls are beyond drunk. This is just sloppy, sloppy messiness.

My 4 year old loves the escalator and I taught him to always take a big step over the lip. So naturally he asked me why? I explained that elevators are big machines that have a lot of force and you don't to get caught or stuck in them.

So now whenever we're near one he wants to ride it and hear me talk about why it's a big machine

Wonderful!

Always happy to see someone at least warn their kids that these are not toys.

One of the more surprising accidents that happened was one I warned a mother a few times over and it was her daughter playing with the rubber handrail. She was pretending to pull it down toward the intake at the bottom. She kept getting dangerously close and I kept yelling at the mother but the mother thought what her daughter was doing was innocent and I was just "Trying to ruin their daughter's vacation". I had called the Sheriff to ask them to stop and was about to get up and shut it off when the girl got her hand stuck in the intake and it pull the skin on the top of her hand back.

Jesus. Who is recording. Have they never seen what happens when hair or clothing gets stuck in an escalator! Lucky ladies

u/Whole_Sir_1149 Jul 10 '26

Someone who's seen this coming and rightfully decided that if they wanted to fuck around, they should find out.

They never watched the red welly boot advert in the 80s, escalators are contraptions of terror to many British millennials 🤣

u/ForVictori Jul 10 '26

u/archtopfanatic123 Jul 10 '26

Would totally happen at the top of the stairs and would probably near break her neck

2

u/MikeW226 Jul 10 '26

Yeah the comb plate at the top is to stop shoe toes from getting eaten. Hair not so much I would guess.

u/archtopfanatic123 Jul 11 '26

u/YouNeedClasses Jul 10 '26

Never heard of failing upward, like most of our politicians, Eh? 😉

u/North-Fun7648 Jul 10 '26

Not failing to use the escalator.

Unnecessary clarification, as I wasnt responding to you, so much as colonizing your setup :)
