escalator rule

13 comments

I remember an old podcast/audiobook thingy that was about this exact thing. The escalators went out at the mall and everyone was trapped on the 2nd floor. Sort of a parody of post apocalyptic survivor shows
- Escalators can be really dangerous when they break down. It's better to just stay upstairs if there's no other way down.
  
  I disagree, I think that if you turn off the escalator it just activates the brakes as a fail-safe and turns into a set of stairs.

Sorry for the convenience

I recall playing a flash game on Newgrounds ages ago that was about a guy trying to leave a shopping mall, and you had to figure out exactly that - how to fix a broken escalator

"an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs"
- what if the entire structure snaps in half?

Sending prayers your way🙏🏻

I'm sometimes too scared to ride an escalator. What if my shoelace gets caught up in a gap and I'll go into an accident?

"HELP! The escalator's stopped!“
“Send help!"
