It’s a beautiful design that escalators, when broken, fall back to being stairs

But I cannot walk a still escalator without a strange vertigo sea sickness

Well there’s a reason they are called electric stairs in Spanish hahaha. Tho I don’t use them when broken, afraid to die

Ya right, there's always some recent viral video of some big escalator with people on it breaking down and flinging people like 20 mph down.
When escalators break they turn into roller coasters.
