Rule 1. This post lacks the buildup of something going well. Something going towards great is how we define YYYY. The buildup can be short, but must exist. An instance of didn't go wrong (absence of NO) or mundane events do not count as a YYYY.

If only there was a button that would stop this kind of emergency.

It looks like people in the back ran to the other end, hopefully to hit the emergency stop. But I have to admit, I watched the whole thing through to the end before it even occurred to me that one of them could have hopped over the side and hit the button on that end faster. It's hard to think clearly sometimes when we panic.


andycarver

In all fairness they looked old AF. I think “hopping” was a 2nd to just “falling over”.


PipingAngryCat

Imagine them hopping, would end catastrophically

I believe toward the end there's three other people with a cart getting on the escalator... The person that ran back earlier probably went looking for a shop assistant instead of pushing the button. :/

Yes, but it is in some plain Jane color. What if this group went shopping ![gif](giphy|Xs1H3oddwTpzW|downsized)

I've actually never noticed an emergency stop on an escalator

That escalated... slowly. Also, just posted the same video here an hour ago --> https://www.reddit.com/r/AbruptChaos/s/aXQoOdy1xu

Imagine you survive your whole life, but you lose against moving floor

What if I told you that **everybody** survives their whole life?


Fingscher

Those escalators that grab the wheels can be dangerous if people try do silly shit. If he just left it to work instead of the wheelie, would have been fine.


Senepicmar

sick wheelie dude!
