When I was five years old I ran away from my mom at a shopping mall in Sao Paulo and sat on the an escalator on my way down. The best surgeon in town reconstructed my tiny hand and I got a few stitches in my butt too... I was lucky not to have lost any fingers!


TheWindatFourtoFly

I've pulled a kid off of the bottom an escalator seconds before he met this fate. The mom kept walking and the kid ran back to her like I was the Boogeyman.


dexhaus

39 years after my incident, my mom still remembers a woman well dressed in white clothes, she grabbed me without doubt, got blood all over her clothes and took me to the mall's emergency room. My mom was busy with my older brother and my younger brother on the stroller, so when we finally could try to reach this woman was gone, but she's always been grateful for that loving gesture!


TheWindatFourtoFly

Makes sense! I'd be way more effed up having watched that accident than losing my best white outfit to some blood. Glad she was there and glad you're good!


QuagMaestro

All these instances sound like instinct kicked in and saved the day. Almost like we were meant for it.


tekko001

> instinct kicked in and saved the day. "I've to get this blood out of my clothes fast or the stains will stay forever!!"


StillAFuckingKilljoy

Despite only being invented several thousand years after humans developed societies, it's still just built in our DNA to fear them and to save kids from them


Haunting_Case5769

I've never heard of a mall-based emergency room (not sure if they have them here in the US, but I've never seen them). Are they affiliated with the mall, or are they like a private urgent care?


newtypehero

Here in Brazil it's common for shopping malls, specially the bigger ones, to have an ambulatory care room staffed with a paramedic, usually outside of people's view. I went to one after feeling dizzy during a movie session many years ago.


Bannedbytrans

One a side note- why don't US hospitals and emergency rooms have a mall attachment?


Haunting_Case5769

I would love to get my Invader Zim tshirt from hot topic on the same day as my colonoscopy.


sheera_greywolf

We have emergency room in malls in my side of the world. For smaller malls, it's usually staffed by a junior doctor or an emergency nurse. The bigger ones usually has more staffs or even affiliated with clinics or private hospitals.

West-Rain5553

When I was five years old, on my last step of riding the escalator to a metro, I pulled a switch that stopped it. Behind us, we saw about two hundred people on the busy but stopped escalator walking downstairs. My mom grabbed my hand and said, "Let's Go Now!" and ushered me into the train that just come up to the platform. I did not want to tell my mom what I did, but now I think she knew since she left the scene of my crime so quickly.


hudnix

I have the same story! Crowded mall department store. I was four. An entire escalator full of people came to an instant stop. I ran off to Mom, she took one look at my face and said "Let's go!"


Glaussie

I got my hand sliced by an escalator when I was four. Thankfully bandaids were enough. Got lucky.


BlueFalcon142

Fell chin first into the step when I was 4 ish. Sliced a good 2 inches of skin clean off. Still remember 35 years later of my mom carrying me to the bathroom of a JC Penny leaving a trail of blood then waiting for my first and only ambulance ride... Still can't grow hair on the bottom of my chin.


badass4102

When I was 8 my shoelace got stuck at the bottom of an escalator. I remember watching Rescue 911 and how a kid got pulled in. I was adamant I wasn't going to get sucked in. Well, it didn't pull me in, my shoelace was just stuck. But I yanked my foot so hard my shoelace broke. A woman nearby just watched like 😲 And I ran away to find my mom and of course didn't tell her diddly squat!


jim_nihilist

What happens on the escalator stays in the escalator.


PipesInternational

Same. Escalator messed me hand up 2. Almost ripped off my index finger and thumb when I was 8. Sitting down and playing with the side wall. Hand got stuck between the stair and wall. Horrid.

SapphireSage707

Don't think it's AI, probs just manually 3D animated


Kallum_dx

Yeha checks out


Conscious-Spend-2451

A lot of it are just vibes but one thing I can point to is to focus on the structure of the heels. They aren't supposed to be like that Also, when the heels get crushed, they get crushed in a way which seems 'unnatural'. When the heels have almost been crushed completely, their end seems to swell and protrudes out. That's what was bothering me


Yolectroda

Also, the way the toe gets pulled in, there's nothing at the front of that type of shoe that should be able to get sucked in like that. Like you said, a lot is just vibes, but a ton just looks "off" in a way that I can't describe.


NinjaBr0din

>just looks "off" in a way that I can't describe. It's the physics of it all, this is like a fever dream. Nothing actually moves in any normal sort of way.


BluestOfTheRaccoons

Basically. People like to boost their esteem or sound smart by calling things out as "obviously fake" so dont feel bad for thinking it is real, cause it is obviously very realistic


pedro-slayer

there is nothing about esteem or intelligence he legit said the first time it looked real, but upon closer inspection you can see that it is fake


SoftDisclosure

People like to boost their self esteem by spouting holier than thou statements about other people's perceived self esteem boosts


NinjaBr0din

The physics are crazy weird. The first show just suddenly stood up on it tip for absolutely no reason. The second shoe sits sideways on the escalator without moving forward for several seconds as the first shoe goes away. The shoes also vanish far too quickly at the end, several inches just disappear.


aux1tristan

Oh good, thank you. I was terrified and I feel just slightly better now


Yiye44

Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. If an escalator ever got the chance, it'd eat you and everyone you care about!


jerrys153

Thanks Mr. McClure! I was a grade-A moron to ever think escalators were safe!


korman85

Yes, you were, Jimmy. Yes, you were.


Strong_Local417

They’ll still fuck you up. Watch your shoelaces


Yorspider

continue to be terrified, escalators can do a LOT worse than this.


deyannn

Nah I'm afraid of these machines. Once watched one of these fail in a Chinese video. The metal sheets at the end of the stairs have in and a woman fell through and was crushed to death. At least she managed to pass her kid to a shopping mall employee but that shit stays rent free in my mind and I'm always a bit afraid when going towards the end of the escalator.


drkrelic

Fuck, I admit I fell for it. Escalators can be pretty damn dangerous in a similar way tbf.


Crafty_Enthusiasm_99

It's funny how when the effects are really good, we just take for granted that they should just work Amazon 2day delivery kinda had this same philosophy. We don't even remember the days of paying $7/delivery for 7-14 business days


FlacidSalad

Is it? It's absolutely supremely well done if so. Edit: so I just watched it with sound and yeah that's pretty rough, still though the lighting/reflections is outstanding, physics was a little wonky but not too blatant.


proteinLumps

It's just too perfect to be real


Upset_Fig2612

Yeah, no way the tip of the shoe gets sucked directly into it like that


nevertoolate1983

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience. -Mitch Hedberg


hyrule_47

A few months ago we were at the mall and saw an out of order sign on an escalator from a good distance. My kid said “isn’t that just stairs?”. Then we got closer and NO. It was a giant hole. And just a little sign on a cone. If someone wasn’t paying attention they could have fallen VERY far.


KappuccinoBoi

I was at an airport (I think it was Chicago or Vegas) a great months ago that had those flat "escalators" to move quicker than just walking. There were 3 or 4 in a row, with maybe 20 feet between each set. One of them had one out in the middle and it was a gaping hole. They had like 2 cones and that was it before a pretty high fall. That was scary to look at in the middle of an airport.


bunsprites

Well I think I'll be avoiding those at every airport from now on, thank you for the terrifying information


thegloper

I've always heard them referred to as a "moving sidewalk". But, I think the technical term is travelator


Valtremors

Reminds me about the video in a Chinese mall where a mother and child fall inside the escalator. Apparently the mother, just in time, pushed her child up to (with help of others) out before being pulled into the machine. That video haunts me.


majle

My father (OSHA kind of guy) has always been uneasy about escalators for that reason. If it breaks, it's basically just a free fall to the ground.


samuelkadolph

[No, they can definitely break](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE2Lv-t9BHk)


Lordborgman

The fact that almost nobody tried to jump to the center part when they could see what is happening...


MealsOnHotWheels

18 injured in escalator failure in China https://youtu.be/4uAaGmux9VE I think there may be other, worse videos elsewhere


Infamous_Performer77

They can definitely be non functional as stairs while appearing as such. If the mechanism that holds the track in place when there's no power were to break, you wouldn't be able to walk up the escalator, your weight would just push the step you're standing on down to the base, sort of like an inside out hamster wheel.


GrimaceMusically

Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent, I don't care which one, but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.


Slapinskee

I was looking for this.


Batman1384

That kid is BACK on the escalator again!


CrazyBigHog

That bastard’s faster that Walt Flannigan’s dog.


sweetpotato_latte

My mom warned me about escalators once I was too big for the stroller. She told me about kids getting hurt on escalators to make me be cautious but it completely backfired because I became terrified of them. I would *not* go on them. I can’t tell you how many memories I have of my parents yelling at me to get on the escalator while they rise to the heavens. It’s so funny now but the fear was real and I was 16 I think by the time I got over it but was still anxious. As of now, I’m confident and practiced with escalators.

guest6666

That's honestly the only thing I can think of whenever I get off an escalator, "please don't break and swallow me whole like what happened to that poor lady".


safoamz1zz

Yes I never look at escalators the same way after having seen that video. That's some final destination shit. I hope her death was quick but she was alive for atleast a second or two feeling every single pain in her body. My god

dmoisan

Look carefully as the last shoe is "ingested". You can see the top of the shoe go by on the top plate. As if it was a clipped texture in CGI.


candlegun

For me it was how "clean" it obliterated the shoes, and so quickly. Also the sound effects were pretty obvious.


JJAsond

> Also the sound effects were pretty obvious. People add sound effects to real videos for no reason so that makes this even harder to tell.


Educational-Award-12

The physics are off for pretty much everything and the grinding effect wouldn't happen as depicted if at all.


Dark_Dragon117

For one the shoe model looks weird, as in it's too clean. When it is sucked in it also looks like it's not made out of any material any shoe would be made of, because it inflates like a baloon. But above all else parts of the shoe literally glitch through the floor at the end...


TheGrapeUnknowing

Reminds me of that one Chinese video of a mom and her son who got on an escalator going up at the mall, they get to the top and as soon as they do the it starts to collapse, mom in her quick thinking pushes the kid forward and out of the way, ended up sacrificing herself. Nearby store workers grab the kids and watch as the mom falls in, later it mentions that’s firefighters came, shut it down, and the mom was beyond the point of saving when they found her, she fell into the escalator shaft and got mangled up apparently.

My gf at the time kept her shoelaces untied. We went onto an escalator and I warned her to tie those up so they wouldn't get caught. She didn't listen, and sure enough, her shoelace got caught and she hurt her ankle as it got squeezed by the shoe. She always kept her shoes tied afterwards 🤷‍♂️

This is your reminder to hold your pets when you go up or down escalators. They dont always know to step off once they’ve reached the base!


Honkey_Fellatio

I worked with a guy who used to maintain and repair escalators at airports. He told me of when a coworker turned the power off to the escalator at the breaker box but didn’t put the lock 🔒 on the breaker box. He proceeded to get inside the escalator and work on it. Someone else flipped the breaker and flipped the switch on the escalator and it started back up with him inside. People standing by heard him cry and scream for a few moments before he was crushed to death. Whatya gonna do, boys will be boys. Live and Learn 🤷‍♂️💀


aojajena

As in the video was, because this isn’t real. Edit: switched gif to video. Didn’t realize it had audio, now that I’ve heard the audio I’m sure no one thinks this is real.

zooce88

Just realized right now how similar an escalator looks to a shredder.


TheFuqinRSA

If you think about it an escalator is just a smaller version of those giant metal shredding machines where you can toss a washing machine in and it's reduced to shavings in like a minute

Sorry we doubted you lol


Jack_Kentucky

One of the "sillier" things I've had to do over my career was guarding an escalator. Do you have any idea how many people with loose clothing will sit on an up escalator? Or plank across it? Or run down an up escalator? These things are dangerous. Before I started, an intoxicated gentleman tried to run down and absolutely shredded his face and abdomen.

When I was a kid our dentist office was in a building that you had to go up escalators. They had framed pictures of little kids playing on playstructures, each with missing fingers/toes at the top as like a general warning, don't fukc around on these. I was terrified of losing a toe on an escalator for years so...mission accomplished?

My son literally.got his toenail ripped off by an escalator a few days ago...   when i was in HS a friend had the toe of his shoe pressed against the raised section of the step in front...   it chopped off the toe of his shoe...   the only yhing that saved his toes was he had them curled up inside the shoe. You need to give escalators healthy respect.   Things can go south very quickly with them.
