Riding an escalator: You're doing it wrong.

 

Remember how, when you were a kid, escalators were kind of terrifying? Yeah, this woman never outgrew that fear.

In this video, dated from 2012 but now going viral all over again, the unnamed woman approaches the steps of doom escalator, realises it’s moving faster than she’d braced herself for, and panics.

What she does next — well, here you go:

Well, that escalated quickly.

(Sorry. The pun was there for the taking.)

That poor woman. I wonder what happened to her at the top?? Cudos for her friend who grabbed on to steady her and rode up beside her! The people on here laughing have obviously never loved and cared for someone who is elderly or who has knee/ankle pain or otherwise walking impaired. We will all get old (if we are lucky). Let's just hope that when we need help, the younger generation will be there to assist and not just to laugh and post humiliating and potentially injuring videos on social media.
