All I know is a broken escalator is a staircase. A broken elevator is a coffin on a string.

They all only go up, with a velocity that is occasionally negative.

Overloaded for sure and probably incorrectly torqued brake.

When I worked at Ford, there was a power failure at world headquarters.
Twelve executives were trapped for an hour on the escalator. |

The down direction should be called the declinator.

I got stuck on a elevator once at a hotel. It just stopped and refused to do anything for about a minute. It had power, the lights never flickered and it didn't seem to switch to backup power or anything.
I was kind of excited to use the emergency phone thing. As soon as I reached for it the elevator woke up and started moving again.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: All I know is that if I ever get stuck in the elevator I can pop the ceiling and find my way out. just open the door and either crawl out the top floor or jump out to the bottom floor, whichever has more space. (yes, it is just that simple, if you don't know how to do that, you really need to learn) |

Quoted: Shouldn't they only go up? Or at least be called something else on the way down? Depressors and De-escalators? Fuck I don't know. Well I suppose some escalators do only go up. I bet there's a switch though. Technically traction elevators run both up and down every run depending on if you are referencing the cab or counter weights. |

Wing nuts. If the car is not at floor level your not getting out if it has functional door restrictions which most do. |

Most have restrictors unless the route mechanic took them off because he was sick of the entrapments they caused due to poor setup. |

The Otis Elevator office building in Seattle was a large 1 story building.
At least it was years ago. Haven't been down that street lately. |

Quoted: When I was a kid mom never let us ride the escalator because she thought our shoelaces would get caught and we’d get sucked in and mashed. The real danger is Crocs on an escalator. The steps suck the soft material in and eat your foot. Children should never ride one with crocs on. We find torn up crocs inside of escalators routinely. |
