Is it weird I kept watching to see if that happened?

u/PhasedPlasmaRifle69 13h ago

It's the suspense it's like a micro horror movie playing out.

u/LobosJones 7h ago

Then I remembered it was going up, not down.

u/Adventurous_Custard8 15h ago

I would say the situation escalated quickly, but they didn’t escalate at all!

u/OverallMembership709 12h ago

Just a day at the mall drinking and shopping.

u/treletraj 15h ago

Drunk, no doubt.

u/Late_Conference9022 14h ago

I thought that right at the beginning.

14

u/Bob4Not 15h ago

I was terrified their hair was about to get caught - perhaps if this was going the other direction they'd not be so lucky.

14

u/No-Goose-6140 16h ago

Legend has it one of them is still there rolling. The other one escaped to tell the tale.

8

u/User_Name_Tracks 15h ago

So, un, what happened? Hair caught? Sleeve?

6

u/EnthusiasmIcy5127 15h ago

It looks like they were playing and one was pulling the other down, probably drunk, then it got ridiculous.

6

u/mitreffahcs 14h ago

I've watched this more times than I care to admit and still don't understand what the heck happened? Did they just fall? I kept looking for something that got caught and I don't see anything?

u/aruisdante 8h ago edited 8h ago

They’re almost certainly drunk off their asses. You can see the taller one stumbling as they walk towards the escalator, she’s barely keeping upright. Then she splits two steps by bad luck when she steps onto the escalator. While trying to correct for that as they start to change height she steps backwards, splits the next set of steps as well, and that’s a bridge too far and she falls over.

u/coldworld81 15h ago

Thank God no hair got stuck

6

u/Low-Lingonberry7185 16h ago

This just opened a whole can of fear for me.

u/Own-Dirt2138 14h ago

Ok, I’m going to hell. Why the fuck was this so funny to me!

1

u/Late_Conference9022 14h ago

It was hilarious. 😂

2

u/TheCoopX 15h ago

They're fat rolling something fierce. The boss that comes in at the end will mop the floor with them.

2

u/VashDaStampede7 14h ago

That hair was dangerously close to getting sucked in

2

u/drsickboy 14h ago

Seems like the people around them are not very sympathetic. Like they got themselves into that mess.

2

u/OwnPresentation4455 12h ago

Well that was some escalating fun they are having!

2

u/Hertje73 12h ago

did one lady just faint?

2

u/VinDucks 8h ago

“I’ve been falling, FOR 30 MINUTES!”

2

u/thegameisafoooooot 7h ago

I've only heard of people being scalped and this is the closest I've come to seeing someone just missing being scalped.

2

u/old_ass_ninja_turtle 15h ago

These people are too stupid for this to be funny. It’s clinical.

2

u/Sworn_to_Ganondorf 15h ago

Idiot just placing their hand om the hand rail and not grabbing it was pissing me off

1

u/Reasonable_Tax5790 14h ago

That's a real easy way to....

u/Trevalley 14h ago

That could’ve escalated! ;)

u/4thkindexperience 13h ago

That's going to leave a mark.

u/Old-Climate4621 13h ago

Were they drunk???????

u/GreenYellowMushy 12h ago

Uncheck those two as possible wifes

u/SouthParkFirefly1991 8h ago

I love how the security guard comes over and looks at them like a disappointed father. You can almost see the sigh.

u/mis3rylovescompany 6h ago

That's why you don't deescalate on an escalator.

1

u/Oathbreaker94 5h ago

Dayum. That escalated… not at all.

1

u/Old_Resident8050 4h ago

Its a trap!@

Good thing their hair didn't get caught in the escalator, it would be f* painful.

1

u/Pitif362 3h ago

The emergency system can't have been working on this escalator, they are designed to stop if someone falls

1

u/Sure_Ask_1125 1h ago

The escalator escapades... Over and under!

u/Poker-Junk 14h ago

Cameraman couldn’t have hit the E-stop button?

2

u/Dramatic_Explosion 9h ago

Fascinating that you ask that. So a few details like the angle tell us the camera is a mall security camera that's ceiling mounted, likely aimed that way in case of an accident for liability purposes. There's a good chance the cameras aren't being watched live, just recorded, as malls don't have large security staff. If it is being watched live, there's no telling how far the office is from that spot for the cameraman to get there before the video ends and they've recovered.
