This made me think of Mitch Hedbergs escalator joke.

"I like the escalator, man, 'cause the escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. There would never be an 'Escalator Temporarily Out of Order' sign, only an 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs - Sorry for the Convenience.'"

    Escalator breaking in such a way that it goes way too quickly could make it unusable.

    True. Though that's much more isolated. Typically criminal negligence is involved. Though early escalators were always slightly scarry meat grinders.

    Yeah I don’t fuck around with out of order escalators if I can avoid it. I’ve seen too many internet videos.
