Some have a switch on the exterior, but it's been ages since I've seen one like that.

Now let me tell you about the time I broke an escalator at Epcot.

Were you one of those rear end in a top hat kids who slap the emergency stop button on an escalator or moving sidewalk and runs?

No need to feel old about that. A professional player of another game wouldn't understand anything either.

Nah, but I did find out that when you wedge a steel-toed boot in between the steps right as they're supposed to be folding back into the floor, it makes a very satisfying crunch sound and both the up and down escalators stop quite suddenly.

It was a school trip, so there were like a hundred other kids besides me on them. Managed to get away scot-free with only a little dent in my boot as evidence.

The sand mandala clip is definitely deliberate, destroying the madala once it's been completed is part of the ritual and symbolizes the ephemerality of life and the world.

A few of the other clips were deliberate as well. :ssh:

Yeah, I dunno if anyone else noticed, but the guy doing the destroying of the mandala was literally the Dalai Lama. Tenzin Gyatso has a pretty well developed sense of humour, but I don't think he would find a lot of lols in wrecking someone's work like that if it wasn't supposed to happen.

Is there just a switch you flip to make an elevator go backwards that someone bumped into?

Elevators are equipped with a pair of brakes that slow down the bottom ends of the rotating belt, so that the its not uniformly quick. If it was, getting onto an elevator would be an extreme sport. Anyhow, you can see there's about 40 people piling onto the elevator - shock and surprise, elevator brakes ain't made to hold that many people, so the breaks give up, and the rotating belt gets pulled downward by the weight of the people.

I think you're greatly underestimating the ignorance and stupidity some people are capable of. In my limited experience, someone who would attempt to drift through the neighborhood on a tricycle is exactly the kind of person who didn't see that car coming. In fact, he never even considered that there could be cars.

After I heard about the escalator that ate that one woman in China (she pushed her kid away in the nick of time) I give escalators really wide berths. :smith:

Yeah, it wasn't a faulty escalator, it was absent minded maintenance. And as we know in the OSHA thread humans gently caress up a lot more than the machinery they use.
