People this unsteady on their feet should really use the elevators.
slothnuggets
Well that "escalated" quickly

That type of fall at that age is like a car accident to most of us. Not shaming people but I doubt that was a dust off and laugh situation.
Guttfunk
This exact situation happened ahead of me in an airport. I recommend jumping over the side if you can so you can help

Poor Bernie! And that slow motion lady fall! It's gold Jerry, gold!!
rubyrooh
I like to think it was the start of a beautiful romance!
Iwannamakeswordsandthings
Help I've fallen and I can't get up
HereIsThere
Those two youngsters are fools for not hopping over the side.
polarpurple
bit of a drop, this isn't a flat moving walk way, it's a ramp-style escalator
magila
I'm never shopping at Sainsbury's again.
OriginalGlitterman
Well that escalated quickly! Hahahahaha couldn't help myself
igobeder
Better slo-mo fall than I've seen in any movie.
ButterLube
This is why you never stop lifting weights and yoga
HotsauceIsLethal
Did anyone think to simply hop over lmfao

So what popped?
whatpassesforclever
Radiator cap maybe? Could be anything, really...lots of expansion of internal liquids if the engine is on fire.
Snooj
This is why I tell people I don't want to live where it's cold. You can't get stuck in a snowbank of heat.
the1stfish
How does grandad even end up wheelieing his cart like that? It’s like a cyberpunk physics glitch. Was he back end heavy with his load (heh)?
SiIverSoul
Small ramp at the end and he didnt push the cart over it so it started pushing him back instead.
AnonymityIsDead
I am going to hell for laughing this hard.

69th upvote, also how could you resist in the first place hah

Ummmm, can we get a groupon? I think most of Imgur is probably joining us.
SodiumOverload
Something about the way the orange coat lady went down holding the handrail is just so funny.
ciaran13
That's when I needed audio
J0joTheIdiotCircusBoy
It made me smile. But I cringed when she kept grabbing the hand rail.
EvilAbedsBoneSaw
I'm a bastard. That just made me laugh harder.
SodiumOverload
I think she’s convinced this time she’ll just be faster than it and pull herself up.
truthsmiles
Isn’t there supposed to be an emergency stop switch on each end?
lablount
I think it’s that little silver box on the left, maybe. But it would take someone coming from our direction, old man was down for the count
Shinigami4th
Just hop over the wall
Muttons1337
Not everyone is able to just hop over a moving handrail. It's also an incline, so a little drop on the other side as well, adding height.
heybuddyhowsitgoing
It’s there on a little pole on the right about 3 feet up from where that woman is backpedaling with the trolley instead of pressing it.
circlebreaker
Yeah, you have to push it though, not lay on the ground after being pinned under 5 lbs. of aluminum.
Leeloothedog
man.. they should really change that so it turns off when you lay on the ground after being pinned under 5 lbs. of aluminum. buttons r dumb
Wolvenlight
True, but he's older. A disproportionate amount of EMS calls I go on are for old people fallen on the ground *not* pinned down by aluminum.
Wolvenlight
(Also, these people are very lucky this didn't end in a much different way, at least from what I can see here.)
circlebreaker
That's fair. I'm a little disappointed at the people for running back up top instead of jumping over and mashing the button at the bottom...
Wolvenlight
Yeah, that struck me as odd. I know panic can be a factor, but most people weren't in danger here and everyone should know about the button.
J0joTheIdiotCircusBoy
I teach my kids the first thing we do in an emergency is to assess the situation. Helps keep them from panicking and gives them some control
ContinuallySenseless
I've been in a few fuckups in worksites. Despite training, people are really stupid and panicy. Maybe a quarter can act efficiently..?
circlebreaker
That sounds like a generous figure. I've seen entire groups of a dozen stand around gawping when action was needed. It's a weird thing...
Drew442
In the US yes, it's at each end. Not sure about overseas tho.
Dentistman
Multiple buttons along the escalator as well
Cattrina
In Finland those are mandatory
TheSamiG
Also there must be some in the middle
