Have you ever been stuck in an elevator or hurt on one?
Escalators are no big deal unless they fall apart.

Unless you get your foot stuck under the edge of the tread and sidewall.

There are horrifying videos of escalator accidents.
Elevators too.

There was an episode of Rescue 911 where the kids got stuck in an escalator and almost died. The one episode I never forgot.

Well I have a fear of Escalators after I was stuck on one for an hour during a power outage.

Got stuck on an elevator with a lady and her four little kids all under the age of 7 for over an hour. Was a nightmare.

I was stuck on an elevator for about half an hour in a Gulf Shores condo complex.

Elevators with a glass floor and 3 people weighing 300+ and their luggage. Makes you look at that license to see the rated capacity.

An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs.

Went on a trip to Mexico City during Christmas break in H.S. The hotel we stayed in was a high rise and the elevators were 50/50 they would open up on the floor you were going to. It would open 1/2 way between floors. Good times.

Got stuck on a elevator for exactly 90 minutes at 4:00am. Called on the buzzer and they told me they will have to call out a maintenance guy. For some reason there was a housekeeping cart in the elevator with me. So, I proceeded to pull 2 huge trash bags off of the roller on the cart and laid them on the floor. I took about a 40 minute nap. LOL

Years ago, I worked an OSHA case where a guy was severed in half by a malfunctioning elevator.

Saw an old guy trip and fall down an escalator at a casino. Those little teeth on each step ate him up. The amount of blood and missing tissue was impressive. Not sure he made it. Don't tell me escalators aren't dangerous.

Yes, about 20 years ago, I was stuck in one in midtown Manhattan for about three hours. The NYC Fire Department finally got us out. It sucked.

A friend of mine and I were stuck in an elevator at a condo at the beach. We had an ice chest with some beer. No worries. Could use ice chest as a potty after consumption of beer. Waited about an hour. Good times.

The one posted on here of the elevator folding that student in new york a year or two ago has scarred me for life 
Anytime I get on an elevator I quickly hop in and out

I lived in Germany for 6 years and used to ride on a paternoster, which is an elevator that moved slowly on a loop up and down a shaft. That was nightmare fuel because if you trip I feel like it would cause serious damage.

Not an escalator or elevator issue but back in the early 90s was doing the Royal Gorge gondola ride with my kids when a lightning strike hit the main tower and the car we were in (packed like sardines) abruptly stopped and swung like a pendulum for what seemed like an eternity. Every person in the car went slamming towards the front of the car and started screaming like banshees. There was a couple of kids/parents screaming about dying and the very young but savvy park employee on the ride started yelling back at them to shut up!
I must say it is unnerving to be swinging freestyle above 1000+ feet of empty space. We were closer to the other side as people begged the operator to go back after power was restored. But the car only goes one way. So off we went. Haven’t done that outing since.
