This is why - you always take the stairs (and leave a note)

6-year old me just shit his pants

Well, I am using the stairs from now on.

Now I know in the event of an escalator mishap is to just jump off to the side. I’ll take broken ankle than risk being trapped or killed.

Oh my god why does it cover over like the fucking batmobile?!

"Only one hour" That's a LONG time to be trapped in a mechanical nightmare.

NotThatJoeYouKnow
when escalators break they don't become stairs they become what they always are meat grinders attached to stairs

Well you are not wrong.

Mitch Hedburg had it wrong
UsernamesAreStupidAnyways
Kinda depends on *how* they break, no?

He actually survived? Lucky man. Escalators usually have no issues chewing up humans.
IceWeaselX
Depends on where he fell in. The grindy parts are mainly at the top/bottom, and some designs have a lot of clearance between tracks.
MKUltraMega
This is why I don’t take escalators in China. This shit happens there ALL THE FREAKIN TIME
Drew442
This type of unit is more like a treadmill with a rubber belt propelled by a roller at one end, which is probably why he just got beat up,
Drew442
This design is much more common on moving walks.
BrockAppDancer
So that’s what the giant red button is for?
MasterDistiller
Did I just watch someone die
FungusForge
Many other comments are saying he survived with minor injuries.

ONLY.ONE.HOUR. I would be a wreck in the first 2 minutes, by the end of the first 10 I would be 100% certain that I was never getting out.

Escalators scare the shit out of me... i still ride them, but damn...

2 things to avoid in China. Elevators and Escalators, and no I'm not kidding...
CoolOnCraze
Always take stairs, not enough mechanical safety. People have died. Some even started to do the splits on handrails to avoid floor collapse

The dude who falls inside.... Uhhh. He dead?

He survived with minor injuries. Escalators always terrify me.

"Free" as in rescuing a scared man? Or like "freeing a dead body jammed in the machine"
bobstallone
Unimportant.

Freeing his soul from his body

Either way, he's free now

He survived with minor injuries was taken to hospital for treatment

Jesus. I'm glad for him. I'd be done. I wouldnt go near anything stair shaped for months at least.

Free........ from life!
Isaypoopythingsbecausemostofyouannoyme
He landed inside so the gears are really only at the end and this escalator looks like “temporarily stairs.”

Yes

Must depend on the failure, i saw one video where woman fell in and died instantly. She barely managed to push her child away before falling
CoolOnCraze
If you must see, just google chinese woman falls into escalator.. it is not gory, it is an insanely sobering, chilling, and tragic moment
Standemonium
I've seen that. This gif made me think of it, then the horror of being said person crammed in a machine like that. *shudder*
beatschubser
Holy fucking shit, this goes right into the top 10 of my personal anxieties.
WrathCore696
you can clearly see what to use instead

Hey if these break, you can still use them as sta..
Wigmachine77
Been like that for me ever since the video of the lady falling through and dying. My glutes are lookin great after all the stairs though.
5timespeed
I’ll be taking the stairs from now on,, thanks
lagomorpha
The lady with the toddler? The ones I've seen that bad are almost all from Asia, mostly China, where regulations don't mean shit. Not in USA
pandaastronaut
NOT IN THE USA BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT EVERY USAMERICAN IS PERFECT!!! USA USA USA
lagomorpha
Wasn't trying to give that impression. There's plenty wrong in the USA, I was only saying that I hadn't heard of escalators messing up here.

piranha1537
Someone hasn't seen the video of the escalator failing in DC..
lagomorpha
No I hadn't seen that one, & I didn't say NONE happened in USA, I said mostly. If I gave that impression, it wasn't intentional I'm sorry.
Hypnoticcow
I feel like I need to know. This is the darkest curiosity I have now and I really don't want to do it...but I want to fucking do it.
piranha1537
It didn't split open and swallow someone or anything like that.. it just sped up and dumped everyone on the bottom. A lady died though.
greg20151975
Eaten by an escalator - I didn’t even think it was possible
FungusForge
You've gotta think about it though, they move literal tons for hours on end. That much torque won't really notice a human.
tazlah
Oh dude. There’s a video somewhere that an Asian lady died falling in, it was like she was put through a meat grinder. When she fell, she 1/
greg20151975
Ouch
tazlah
Was holding her baby, and she threw her child as far as she could saving the kid. Terrible. I’ll look for the link.
CoolOnCraze
The part that got me the most when the video was going around was when the escalator stairs stopped.. because the gears were binding...
