Escalators

[Grandeza]

So my high school has escalators and as a freshman I am in awe at them. My friends and I learned how to slide down the escalators and over tha past few weeks developed techniques for speeding up, slowing down, and avoiding injuries xD Obviously if a teacher sees us we get in trouble so we alos learned how to get off the escalator mid slide. So Yesterday I conquered the biggest escalator challenge. Sliding down the biggest escalator in our school, but not the down escalator of course. The up escalator. It was really fun and I didn't get hurt. Today was a little different. I decided to do one last slide down the up for fun and got down, but saw my frends at the top so we went for a few more times. My last time sliding down, my friend ran down the up escalator chasing me as I slided. I wasn't going fast ennough and under pressure, slipped off the banister. I rolled down a few steps and got up. i wasn't badly injured, but have som big cuts on my back and a hurt ankle. Needless to say, this is my last slide on the escalator. It was fun while it lasted.

So any escalator stories or just general discussion?

I really want to push somebody down an up escalator, does that count?

You could've broken your spine and become paralyzed.
People in wheelchairs fall down escalators too you know.

I kind of want to go down the up escalators and up the down ones all the time. I wouldn't mind doing this for the rest of my life. Why? Not sure.

It's just fun for some strange, unknown reason.

Makes me wish the other people would walk out of the shop and let me walk up and down escalators.

Running down escalators is entertaining. My only story is the when they break down where they are heavily needed like at large subway stations or colleges. it sucks...

 

[The Phazon Assassin]

Going up the down escalators require different timing and stuff. Like, it doesn't feel natural, you can easily tell something is wrong.

I don't see why people look at you weird for thinking outside the box. Going up the wrong escalator is just extra exercise. Everyone should be doing it.

Escalator + Slinky = Infinite Fun

I once pushed my human grandmother down the elevator at the airport

I kind of feel bad for laughing at that.

Escalators at your school~? Wow! At least you didn't get too hurt!! I only ran up the down escalator or vice-versa..

 

[Mr.Freeman]

I've always had a thought about what would happen if you got pulled into an escalator. Wasn't there a movie where somebody died like that?

Honestly, I really am captivated by moving things you can stand on. Like those power walkways in airports. ^_^

Wow, I sound like I'm 5...
