    I used to work facilities and maintenance for a department store when i was a kid, and escalators are nothing to fuck around with. Those motors are are capable of moving 8 tons up an entire story, and nothing will stop them from doing so. Anything that gets into the gear system will be crushed and destroyed, and your bones won’t even phase the motor.

      Yep 100%, it’s real shit, wouldn’t even joke about this happening tbh. I saw a horrible video a long time ago of… ahem let’s just say a malfunctioning escalator in China. Horrifying.

    That happened to me sort of. I walked home from the mall with only one shoe.
