The scene you’re probably thinking of is from one of the Final Destination movies. Not sure I’d count those as the most solid of evidence.

As somone who has been on a broken escaltor that was not safe, the breaks can fail and then you have a big problem. Granted I’m not dead and didn’t lose any limbs but degloving is still not something I’d like to risk.

They could also be referring to the time a woman threw her child clear from a failing elevator and then got promptly consumed. Happened in China.

A lot of people don’t! Escalators are big toothed conveyor belts, with a human-friendly box around it, basically. The mechanisms break down, and there’s a chance that box fails and you meet teeth.

C. C I’m not sure what you’re talking about, I don’t watch those movies and the one I’m thinking about was from (iirc) an asian mall CCTV recording or something to that effect.

Yeah it was a Chinese woman and her child. I linked it further up, but from the sounds of it maybe don’t go looking for my link lol

You could probs google it and find it pretty readily, something like ‘escalator failure reddit’ or that. It’s like mall footage of an escalator that has motor failure or something and because it’s… well really heavy it basically it snaps at some point and just rips down with people just falling into the pit where the inner parts stay underneath.

Oh I think I know that one. Based on the previous comment, I thought it got sent into overdrive and was going hella fast that it may as well be a chainsaw lol
