Escalator: One Crocs: Zero
in WTF
Escalator Wins Against Crocs: 1 to 0

R
I’m just glad the croc is still blue and not painted red
W
At a mall when I was a child. My little brother sat down on the up escalator. Metal teeth at the top bit right into his ass and left bloody teeth marks. Not gushing blood, more like abrasions. Nothing that required medical attention, but the pants were ruined. Could have been a lot worse.
P
> Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don’t hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent – I don’t care which one – but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.
R
THAT KID IS BACK ON THE ESCALATOR!
T
“SOMEBODY CALL A MEDIC, THERE’S A LITTLE BOY CAUGHT IN THE ESCALATOR!!!”
N
What’s a Nubian?
T
Bitch, you almost made me laugh!
S
That delivery was fantastic. Jason Lee was an absolute highlight of Smith’s various movies.
M
I hope his pants get caught and a bloodbath ensues

K
I wonder if you can jam your dick in there
W
Huh. Same exact thing happened to my brother. We said the escalator bit his butt. At the time I had no concept of how dangerous it really was. Kids are dumb. And boomers were extremely negligent parents.

When I was a kid at universal I was on the big escalators and I was in flip flops. I had my toes in the bristles on the side cause it felt funny and I was a child. Well that escalator sucked in my flipflop and bigtoe. Cracked my toe and ripped the skin off. Destroyed the sandal. Had to go the ER and let’s say I ruined the vacation I now treat escalators with the respect of a large machine like they deserve
K
Yikes. That sounds like a sure way to loose a toe.
H
I got to meet a fat Albert actor who i thought was the real fat Albert so that was cool. And they gave me a cool car. We didn’t sue cause I was a dumb ass and it was my fault
S
I bet you were looking forward to your driving license to finally drive the car.
H
It was a toy car haha I did enjoy it tho
W
Maybe the wearer was a horseshoe crab 😳
D
That kid is back on the escalator!
T
Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don’t hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent – I don’t care which one – but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator!
E
Jesus Christ! There’s just some things you don’t talk about in public.
D
Would you like a chocolate-covered pretzel? They’re a little melty, but damn, are they exquisite!

^ Repost bot
F
why are you the way that you are
T
I’m pretty sure I’m not a bot…
A
Nah, you’re just a bot with really good AI
Z
Hey, fuck you! I got my foot stuck in one when I was little. :[ The escalator taught me the fear..
R
I work retail security on the side. I posted a picture of a pair of rubber shoes that got sucked backwards into the escalator some years ago. Poor customer jumped out of them as they were both getting pulled in. Redditors thought I staged that shit. Nah yall. Don’t wear soft shit on the escalator. I don’t understand the physics. Somehow it’s a lot more apt to get pulled in, guess cause it kinda ‘molds’ to the surface? Seen it happen to soft toes too. Oh and tie your damn laces too.

I rode a lot of very skinny escalators while wearing a very long wig at DragonCon a few weeks ago. You can best believe I was clutching those 4-foot pigtails in front of my torso the whole damn time! (Fortunately, they were held on to the main wig by clips, so in a worst case scenario I could jettison them.)
F
Can relate. Fursuit on an escalator. Hold the damn tail! Lol
M
An escalator repair guy once called the escalator the “people eater”. He told me to always keep each foot on a different step and hold on to the railings. Or take the stairs… Elevators are much safer.
V
Great video on escalator accidents, history and safety mechanisms.[Rome elevator accident ](https://youtu.be/tZ8ehplVFp4?si=bXnffHxYVW-mMeib)
O
I’d say Crocs:0 Escalator:-1
S
I was gonna say the same… if that’s the maintenance cart to repair the escalator, I think the Croc won
R
Also if this is considered a win for the escalator, then surely all the croc wearing people going up or down successfully are wins for the croc? So it’s like 1000:1 croc to escalator or more
S
Tools are to remove parts to get the croc out.
F
As ugly dead as alive!
R
I’d almost say it’s an improvement
B

C
Toes still 10 whew
S
ok so imo the crocs won
G
Well one of them did at least 🤷♂️
K
Crocs weren’t in sport mode
R
It’s a good thing too
J
That kid is on the escalator again!
R
Not so sure about that scoring if one Croc took that escalator out of service.
K
*Thank youuu*
F
He’s back on the escalator again!!!!!
S
Escalators are insane and I’m convinced that if they were invented today they wouldn’t get approved. You just have to treat them with respect and keep everything away from the mauling part
S
This is like the kind of horror where you find an overturned wheelchair in Silent Hill.
