This is actually untrue. I used to work security in an office and for safety reasons, they completely shut off the power of the escalator so there's a zero chance it will turn on.

Movie characters: I'm still going to walk on it. It'll be an adventure! Regular people: I'm still going to walk on it. I don't want to go find a staircase.

Walking on a moving escalator masterrace!

There designed so that if they stop working they can safely get everyone off them. Yes there could a mechanical failure and it free spins but highly unlikely

Nobody cares if you're first. Those are very low-effort comments.

Who cares, if I need to get where I’m going and it’s stopped, I’m walking.

Finally i see the answer. I thought the escalators move when its actually still but wasnt sure if its just in my mind. Turns out its my mind

The Washington DC Metro subway has the most escalators in the Western hemisphere. They are in the process of replacing their very old and unreliable escalators. Sometimes an escalator is turned off and used for walking while the other one is being repaired/replaced. They say to stand on the right, walk on the left

Cheers Bright Side.. Escalators are a bit scary.

Great analysis of them 👍🏽

We have to use escalators in our mall because it's the only way to get from floor to floor. When one isn't working we have to climb them because it's the only way to get from place to place.
