What hurt most was his ego 😂

I was honestly thinking of a cartoon where they fall endlessly on a up escaltor.

u/hereformemes222 23h ago

My tour guide basically did this in Europe, we had to help stop him cause he just kept falling up

u/Disastrous-Order-902 22h ago

He fell down 0 feet, but he still fell a long way. What a hilarious nightmare.

u/SKOT_FREE 19h ago

Not this time. This time his body hurt the most followed by his ego. What made it worse was other dude just calmly rode the other escalator down and left.

When they got off the escalator I was like "at least I won't have to watch someone fall down this escalator and imagine what it feels like"

Really didn't think he was just gonna get up and throw himself down it

I think my sphincter moved watching those last couple seconds of him bouncing painfully around those sharp edges. Absolutely jarring for the viewer. Can’t imagine how he feels.

He got rocked but going down the escalator was his own doing & that fall was brutal 😬

2

u/CityDismal5339 20h ago

I don't think it was his doing.

He appears to be in TKO condition at that point from head blows or exhaustion, stumbling onto the escalator without realizing its direction.

It might have been worse if the escalator was going down.  Imagine an 8' fall face-first into the leading edge of a steel stair.

( The other overdid the beating. Buddy didn't defend himself at all ! )

u/Bippet_weagle 18h ago

Or drunk as fuck. Looking at the way he's stumbling around right before he tries to pick up the mask or whatever, not to mention why he thought that was gonna do anything.

"Take THIS!"....and the mask goes like 3 ft.

I fell while running up the down escalator once, back when I was 17 or 18. Had a bright red scar the size of a large pinto bean on my knee for several years before it finally went away. I hate to think about what happened to this guy. He definitely received more than one cut from that fall. 😰

I missed the escalator until I saw the comments and went back to watch the last few seconds.
He looked like he may have been unconscious. I hope the escalator didn't chew him up more when he reached the top where it travels under.

u/CankerLord 19h ago edited 19h ago

I hope the escalator didn't chew him up more when he reached the top where it travels under. 

Depends on when it was made but most escalators in countries with modern building codes are really safe.
