Escalators are there for a reason: to prevent us lazy humans from having to traverse vertical inclines and declines. And this demonstrates what you get for laughing in the face of this technology.
This guy thinks it would be a good idea to try and slide down the banister of the escalator. Or, more accurately, his mates think it would be a good idea.
It wasn’t, and he ends up first running for a bit and then falling face-first into the metal stairs that make up the escalator. That’s gotta hurt. And that’s also gotta prevent you from trying anything similar in the future, surely.
It’s easy to take escalators for granted but what we do without them? Oh yes, lose weight and get fitter, so maybe they’re a bad thing after all. Even if they did teach this guy a lesson his face will never forget.
