    Escalators don’t stop if a person gets stuck, unfortunately. It actually pushes harder because it thinks there’s a heavy load on top.

      At least the ones we had have safety measures built into them, they may not catch everything but if you jump onto the escalator with two feet and slam your weight down, they would stop because they were built to assume the inconsistency was a possible fall.
