The scene you’re probably thinking of is from one of the Final Destination movies. Not sure I’d count those as the most solid of evidence.

As somone who has been on a broken escaltor that was not safe, the breaks can fail and then you have a big problem. Granted I’m not dead and didn’t lose any limbs but degloving is still not something I’d like to risk.

C. C I’m not sure what you’re talking about, I don’t watch those movies and the one I’m thinking about was from (iirc) an asian mall CCTV recording or something to that effect.

They could also be referring to the time a woman threw her child clear from a failing elevator and then got promptly consumed. Happened in China.

Edit to add:

Could also be this one. Turns out there’s a lot of incidents of people being monched.

A lot of people don’t! Escalators are big toothed conveyor belts, with a human-friendly box around it, basically. The mechanisms break down, and there’s a chance that box fails and you meet teeth.
