There Are Right and Wrong Ways to Use Escalators

Dan GibsonNovember 16, 2011June 4, 2022

Occasionally, I find myself in a two-story shopping establishment and I wonder if it’s just easier to try to scale the down escalator instead of walking a hundred or so feet to the up escalator. This woman, filmed in a New York mall, could have been a bold pioneer if the move worked out, but instead, she’s on a YouTube video for the world to enjoy.

You have to be attractive to be that stupid, and she is not.

I rode a bicycle down an up escalator once. It took a long time, and the drops were really violent. Really regretted it about a third the way down, 2/3s the way felt like falling over on purpose and heading back up.
